<jats:sec><jats:title>Background:</jats:title><jats:p> There has been a recent reported rise in prevalence of mental health problems among children in the United Kingdom, alongside increased referrals into specialist services. There is a need for up-to-date information regarding changing trends of young people’s mental health to allow for improved understanding and service planning. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title><jats:p> This article aims to provide an overview of the current mental health and well-being of years 8, 9 and 11 secondary school–aged pupils from two large regions in the North of England. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:</jats:title><jats:p> This was a cohort cross-sectional study. Measures including the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire, the EQ-5D-Y, social media use questions, and a mental health service use questionnaire were completed by participants. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> In total, 6328 questionnaires were returned from 21 secondary schools. One in 10 participating pupils scored ‘very high’ for total mental health difficulties. Significant differences on well-being scores were found between both gender and year groups. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p> In recent years, the proportion of children facing mental health problems has increased. In particular, high levels of female pupils and year 11 pupils report facing difficulties.
