Project details
A central strand of #BeeWell is its research programme, which seeks to understand how wellbeing develops during adolescence and the factors that shape it over time.
This work is delivered through an ambitious longitudinal cohort study tracking students across key stages of secondary education, with particular attention to the transition from Year 8 to Year 10. Successful PhD candidates contribute directly to this effort by supporting the study and conducting journalâformat doctoral research using the #BeeWell dataset.
The research methodology is based on a coâcreated survey measuring both wellbeing âdomainsâ (such as meaning, purpose, and sense of control) and wellbeing âdriversâ, including health behaviours, hobbies, school experiences, and neighbourhood safety. Survey data are integrated with socioâdemographic and administrative records, including ethnicity, free school meal eligibility, and special educational needs, with planned linkage to the National Pupil Database.
Initially launched in Greater Manchester, #BeeWell has expanded to schools across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton, enabling valuable regional and socioeconomic comparisons.
