For the cluster-randomised controlled trial we aim to recruit 40 schools in the East Midlands, with 20 receiving the intervention and 20 acting as controls (who will be offered the intervention at the end of the trial if its effectiveness is proven).
1. All mainstream secondary schools (both private and non-private) with students in at least Years 7 to 11
2. In Leicestershire many areas have linked middle (aged 10-14) and high schools (14-18) with students progressing automatically from one to the other. In these areas, schools will only be recruited in linked pairs to ensure longer-term follow up of students is possible.
3. All students in Year 7 at the start of the trial will be eligible for inclusion
