Read about how much
children and young people enjoyed writing in 2010. We explore how often they
engaged in writing, what types of formats they wrote outside class, and what
they thought about various aspects of writing.
These findings are
compared with those from the two previous years and are also broken down by
gender, key stage, free school meal uptake and ethnic background. The
relationship to writing attainment is also explored.
18,141
young people aged eight to 17 participated in this online survey in November
and December 2010.
