Belonging Matters is a new whole-school programme helping schools create safer, more inclusive cultures — where all pupils feel they belong. When children feel seen, valued and included, they’re less likely to experience bullying and more likely to thrive.
This summary interim report captures early learning from 11 schools across London, showing how belonging can be strengthened through practical actions — from staff training to pupil voice, policy change to inclusive routines.
Belonging sits at the heart of prevention. These early insights offer real examples of what schools can do — and how it’s already making a difference.
