A school's climate can have significant consequences for students feeling like they belong at school.[1][2][3] School climate broadly refers to the feelings associated with a school's environment and quality; it is considered to have physical (e.g. adequacy of buildings), social (e.g. interpersonal relationships), and academic dimensions (e.g. teaching quality).[23] School climate influences school belonging through its support (or lack thereof) of students' feelings of connection with and attachment to their school.[8][17] One important facet of school climate is school safety, which is how safe students feel at school.
