P-S WELLS is a primary-secondary school transitions research study, which aims to develop the first questionnaire to measure pupil’s emotional wellbeing in the context of primary-secondary school transitions. This brief and accessible questionnaire will be named the Primary-Secondary School Transitions Emotional Wellbeing Scale (P-S WELLS). P-S WELLS will be developed following in six phases. At each phase we are working in close consultation with experts by experience (e.g. pupils, educational practitioners, policy makers) and experts by knowledge (e.g., researchers with empirical, theoretical, methodological and policy expertise), to ensure P-S WELLS accurately represents pupil’s experiences. P-S WELLS will help researchers and practitioners to identify:

a) Which aspects of primary-secondary school transitions pupils are excited about, as well as concerned about

b) Who might be particularly vulnerable during primary-secondary school transitions

c) What universal and targeted support to focus on

Your school will receive detailed support about your pupils’ wellbeing and adjustment over primary-secondary school transitions.
