Purpose Health and Attainment of Pupils in a Primary Education National (HAPPEN) is a primary school national cohort which brings together education, health and well-being research in line with the Curriculum for Wales framework. Health, education and social care data are linked and held in the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank. In addition, school-aged children complete the HAPPEN Survey to inform the design and implementation of the Health and Well-being curriculum. Over 600 schools take part in the HAPPEN Survey. Linkage of health and education records from the HAPPEN national cohort with HAPPEN Survey responses gives enriched cohort detail which can be used to extrapolate to other schools in Wales.
