Pupil attitude survey 2007

Responses to the questions relating to racial abuse in school or out of school

Changes of less than + or - 2% on the results in 2006 are seen as insignificant but given the small percentages involved, this is deceptive. In some cases the smaller percentages mean that actually MORE children have been subject to racial abuse than in last year's survey, because of the greater number of respondents.
