Dear Melissa,

Early Years Wellbeing Survey – Rumble’s Quest

The wellbeing of all students at Swansea Primary School is important to us.

Swansea Primary School is using the early years wellbeing survey Rumble’s Quest to survey students in Years 1–3 on their wellbeing. The survey will be undertaken between 29th August and 9th September 2022.

This letter provides key information about the survey and answers some questions that you may have about why your child is participating in the survey.

About Rumble’s Quest

Rumble's Quest is an online game that has been designed to measure student wellbeing. Young people’s sense of wellbeing is an important part of their development and how they learn at school. The purpose of the survey is to seek students’ views about their wellbeing and their engagement with school. The information collected will help to inform work within our school around student wellbeing.

What is the survey about?

When children participate in Rumble’s Quest they complete fun challenges and answer questions about the way they experience the world. The survey asks young people questions to understand things such as their social and emotional wellbeing; school relationships and engagement and learning in school; physical health and wellbeing; and after school activities.

Will my child be identified in the results of the survey? How will this look?

Your child’s answers to the survey questions will be combined to give your child an overall wellbeing score, which your school principal will receive. Your child’s individual answers will be kept confidential and will not be accessed by your school principal. An exception to this is for answers related to the safety of your child, which may be flagged for the school principal or a person they choose to follow up.

Who will know about my child’s wellbeing from the survey results?

Only your school principal or a person they choose at the school can access your child’s overall wellbeing score. This is accessed through a secure login. The principal will discuss this information with the classroom teacher to help them to support the student’s wellbeing.

What is involved in completing the survey?

Teachers will arrange for students to undertake the survey during class time. It will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. Students will be free to withdraw at any time. It is not compulsory.

What do I have to do?

If you do not wish for your child to participate in the wellbeing survey, please complete the form attached and return it to the school by Friday 25th August. If you agree for your child to participate in the wellbeing survey, you do not need to do anything.
