A recent report indicates that one in four pupils in England disengage from school after moving to secondary education. This decline in engagement, particularly marked in the shift from primary to secondary school, is characterized by decreased enjoyment, trust, and a sense of safety. Female students and those eligible for free school meals particularly report lower engagement levels, which correlate with higher absenteeism rates. The study also highlights that primary students exhibit a stronger belief in their ability to succeed compared to secondary students. The decline in engagement is notably more pronounced in England compared to other countries.
