Sample details
Information obtained from CLOSER Discovery. See link for metadata in study information: LSYPE2 follows young people who were aged 13/14 in 2013 annually. The young people in LSYPE2 were sampled through a two-stage process. Schools were sampled first, followed by the pupils within those schools. The sample includes young people in local authority (LA) maintained schools, academies and independent schools, but for practical reasons excludes small schools and overseas students. It includes special schools as well as mainstream provision. This sample was designed to ensure the widest feasible perspective on young people’s experiences.
