What we delivered
Key statistics
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 it was felt that there was the most alignment with the Welsh curriculum at this point and there was the most space to deliver democratic education.
Number of learners worked with by year group
Free school meals
The average percentage of learners receiving Free Schools Meals in the primary schools we worked with was 5% points above the national average, and for secondary schools the average was 4% points below the national average.
