Abstract

There is, notwithstanding progress in this area, still a need for more research on school effects on school and classroom effects on non-cognitive outcomes. In this paper we aim to look at the relationship between school and classroom characteristics and the prevalence of bullying behaviours. This study follows a quantitative approach drawing on two main elements: a survey of bullying behaviours in 35 English primary schools and analysis of secondary datasets to study this question.
