The Attainment and Wellbeing Scrutiny Inquiry Panel spoke to over 60 children and young people in schools in February and March this year.

Pupils over the four focus groups were asked:
- What do pupils need to do well in school?
- What would stop pupils doing well in schools? and
- How do you think pupils could be helped so that they can learn better?
Some of the replies for ‘what would stop you doing will at school’ for example, included:
- Bullying
- Family problems
- Bad behaviour
- Feeling sad
- Distractions – social media, mobile phones etc
The Panel will be meeting again this week to discuss the Swansea Healthy Schools Initiative.
