Abstract

Youth Engagement with Race and Faith at School is a peer-reviewed study funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and carried out by a team of researchers at University of Birmingham. The study runs from 2022 to 2025, and seeks to make a major contribution to understanding the factors in and out of schools that support young people to express themselves democratically on race and faith equality issues. Part of the study involves a national survey of Year 10 pupils and their teachers in state- funded mainstream secondary schools across England. This report presents key descriptive statistics from the pupil survey, and further group-specific and correlational analysis will be carried out in subsequent publications.
