The DCSF often releases a collection of research reports at the end of each month; here's the pick of the latest batch:
- Drivers and Barriers to Educational Success examines why young people from poor families are more likely to experience lower achievement in school, and more likely to participate in a
range of risky behaviours as teenagers - The Impact of Adult Support Staff on Pupils and Mainstream Schools: a Systematic Review of Evidence is a brief summary of research in this area
- Those students who have recently been enquiring about safeguarding children may be interested in looking at The Child, the Family and the GP: Tensions and Conflicts of Interest in Safeguarding Children
- Following on neatly from yesterday's post, the Primary School Curriculum Omnibus Survey (March 2009) asked parents what they thought of the existing curriculum, in light of Sir Jim Rose's proposed changes.
