*1 The WMCS had originally planned to survey pupils through their primary schooling and the transition into secondary. This plan was dropped by S04 to focus instead on their secondary school experience.
*2 S08 was conducted in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. As schools were under additional strain during this period and the more pressing issues of the pandemic affected all pupils, all school years were sent the online questionnaire that year, including years additional to our usual cohorts.
