(2) Report on survey of children at St Paul's School
Woodhouse Parish Plan � Responses to St Paul�s School Questionnaire - Jane Woodland, September 2004
1. Survey Method
St Paul�s have a School Council with representatives of each year group meeting every two weeks. They were asked to take back the questionnaire to each form, discuss it and then bring back the results. This took place at the same time as the adult questionnaire in June 2004. The completed questionnaires were not available until after the summer holidays, which meant that it was not possible to clarify some of the answers.2. Details of respondents and findings
Not all the questions were answered and some were answered in much more detail. The responses do reveal common themes and similarities with the adult questionnaire. The year groups that participated, together with some information about the numbers of children from each village are given below:-| Age Group | No. of children | Woodhouse Eaves | Old Woodhouse | Outside the villages |
| 6 - 7 | 30 | |||
| 7 - 8 | 15 | 9 | 2 | 4 |
| 8 - 9 | 16 | 13 | 3 | |
| 9 - 10 | 13 | 11 | 2 | |
| 10 -11|%colspan=4|Numbers or split between villages not given |
It is assumed that over 80 children gave their views, with the vast majority being from Woodhouse Eaves.
3. What children like about living in the villages
There is a lot of commonality across the year groups.- The environment is appreciated
- Nice, polite people live here: age 7-8 and 10 -11
- It feels safe: age 10 � 11
- There is a lot for children to do
- Near to towns: age 9 � 10
4. What children don�t like about the villages
- The "flip side" of living in the countryside
- The play facilities are not up to scratch and vandals are an issue
- Children can�t go out age 7-8
- There are power cuts age 7-8
5. What children would like to have in the village
- A lot more variety for play, with facilities that it would be difficult to find in a rural area.
- Some of the ideas seem more realistic, particularly to do with the village park
- Others are more ambitious
kids hideout, jungle drums, barbecues
and a camping club in the wood
- A lot more shops and eating places � again difficult to find in a village
6. Children do attend clubs in the village, but they are in the minority
| Age 6 -7 | 7- 8 | 8- 9 | 9-10 | 10�11 | %rowspan=2|8 out of 30|%rowspan=2|8 out of 15 | Cubs & Brownies | Cubs|%rowspan=2|assume that no one attends clubs | %colspan=2|number of children not given |
8. Clubs that children would like to see
These suggestions are very consistent with the earlier responses � there are lots of ideas, with the majority around sport and physical exercise.{%|Child�s football club
