Our interim report presents research from our call for evidence which was designed to investigate what KS1-KS5 students in England think about their learning and assessment.

We were not surprised by the results from our call for evidence since we have also experienced many of the things that young people reported to us. The most common perspectives from respondents included wanting learning and assessments to be more interactive; assessments negatively affecting student mental health; and wanting learning to be more relevant to life. The call for evidence also showed that young people want to learn more about the world, culture, climate, finances and politics. We agree and will make sure to represent youth voice on education.
