School = Happiest Days of my Life
Stress free & fun

4. Generation Z
• Never known a world
without the Internet,
Mobile phones or iPods
• Lived their entire lives
with instant access to
mountains of data
• They crave constant and
immediate feedback
• Great at multi-tasking
• Prefer to communicate
in short bursts than
engage in long
conversations
• Far more ‘aware’ of the
world around them and
are growing up faster
than any other previous
generation

5. Why focus on the ‘whole child’?
• Over the past 10 years, UK school children have
become more
Stressed & Nervous
Angry
Prone to eating disorders & self harm

6. 35% -fear being bullied
12% - have a clinically diagnosed mental
illness
132% - the increase in hospital admissions by
teenagers since 2001 due to self-harming or
eating disorders (16,000 15-19yr olds in 2012)
3:10 students say they are currently unhappy
