Student Screen-Time and Wellbeing Survey1
As part of a school wellbeing project, we would like to understand how students in our year use screens and how this affects their sleep, their mood, and their daily lives. Your honest answers will help us design activities and support that genuinely suit you, rather than what adults simply assume you need. The survey takes around five minutes, and all responses remain completely anonymous, so no answer can ever be traced back to you.2
Please read each question carefully and tick the box that best describes you, or write your answer on the line provided. There are no right or wrong answers, and you may skip any question you would prefer not to answer.3
