The area of school climate has been a hot topic both in Czech and in international studies; it must be dealt with also with respect to the needs of practice, if relations among students are to be improved. The article discusses the climate of the senior elementary school (6 th-9 th year), primarily in connection with its essential factors, i.e. students. The text presents theoretical foundations of school climate from selected national and international authors. Basic research tools that served as source of inspiration for the actual research are stated; the research is described in the next part of the article and it is based on the project implemented in 2015. Our goal consists in presenting the results of the research aimed at revealing the relations among students in selected elementary schools from the perspective of students, teachers and parents. The method of questionnaire research was used. Weak, but signifi cant correlations among important areas of school life were revealed.
