A meta-analysis of 51 studies (N = 67,378) by K. Allen and colleagues (2018) identified that there are multiple individual and social level factors that influence school belonging.[1] These core themes include academic factors, personal characteristics, social relationships, demographic characteristics, school climate and extra-curricular activities.[8] For many of the determinants of school belonging, it is likely that each of them have a reciprocal relationship with a student's sense of belonging.
