Get some new data from the Random Data Selector

New data from the various international CensusAtSchool partner projects has been added to the Random Data Selector (RDS). This includes school children's submitted data from the UK 2012 SportAtSchool questionnaire that included questions on sport, sporting activities and the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

New Canada Data for 2011-2012: the data split into Secondary and Primary levels is available in both the English and French language versions. New Australian Data for 2012: over 20,000 student records responding to the same set of questions from 2011. The third set of Irish Data: taken from 2011-2012 with over 6000 records. New UK data: this includes updates to the 2010-2011 data and the brand new SportAtSchool questionnaire data. You may only take a sample of 200 from each data set, but you may take as many samples as you like and from any of the data sets present. Use the data in your projects, research, resources, comment on it, publish it*, it is up to you.

You can access the RDS here.

RDS Now in Italian for 2013!

Benvenuto

The Random Data Selector (RDS) now has another language translation. The Italian translation came from a UK based colleague based at Plymouth University.

Below is a list of our current translations, if you can offer us a translation in another language please let us know at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or via Twitter @censusatschool.

French: the first to be added for our colleagues in Canada where both French and English is used in Secondary and Primary schools. Welsh: Cymraeg we added for the National 2011 Census that took place in both England and Wales. Spanish: another translation provided by UK based colleagues. Japanese: when the CensusAtSchool Japan site went live we added the Japanese translation, in about 2009.
