S ummary . The previous article has described the development of scales designed to measure pupils' perceptions of school and teachers. Previous comparative studies have shown interesting differences in motivation and approaches to learning between Britain and Hungary, which were considered to reflect different methods of teaching. This article explores the relationships between a set of inventory scores describing perceptions of school and teachers and another set indicating school motivation and approaches to learning. Thel complete inventory was given to samples of 516 12–15 year‐old pupils in five British schools and a comparable sample of 602 pupils in Hungary. The factor structure of the combined inventory was investigated, together with correlational analyses at scale and item level which suggested that relationships did exist between perceptions of school and teachers, levels of school motivation, and approaches to learning.
