Programme delivery and reach
Key metrics
Geographical reach
The number of primary and secondary schools we worked with in Central South Wales and South West and Mid Wales are broadly representative of the number of schools in those regions.
Proportionally, we saw a smaller number of North Wales schools take part in the programme, and a higher number in South East Wales.

Learner demographics and representation
Age of learners
Over three quarters of the learners we worked with were aged between 9 and 14, with school years 5-8 being the most popular years to deliver the programme.
Our teacher feedback shows that the programme was most popular at this age band because there is most alignment with the Welsh Curriculum. There is also more flexibility in the curriculum at this stage to deliver democratic education.
