We rely on the hard work of schools, local authorities and others across the sport and education sector. Their efforts mean we’re able to listen to tens of thousands of pupils and hundreds of teachers.
Evidence from the survey allows us and our partners to:
- make more informed decisions about future investment
- analyse emerging trends and identify gaps
- examine under-represented groups
- tackle the barriers that prevent young people from taking part in sport
All participating schools get a breakdown of their own pupils’ data. This can help schools better:
- listen to the voices of their pupils
- plan their approach to school sport and extracurricular activity
You can read previous reports, headline results and data tables for each survey.
2026
We will publish the findings of the 2026 survey in autumn 2026.

We will be sending schools details of how to take part. If you have not received details by 13 April, email schoolsportsurvey2026@sport.wales. You can also contact us for further information about the survey.
Improvements for 2026

The 2026 survey will include:
- additional language options beyond Welsh and English, including British Sign Language and Makaton
- audio narration
- interactive and gamified features to help keep pupils focused and motivated
- alignment with the Curriculum for Wales
