Our objective is to study the intersection between the public and private sectors of the economy, and in particular to understand the right way to organise and deliver public services. The Centre aims to develop research, contribute to the public debate and inform policy-making. CMPO, now an ESRC Research Centre was established in 1998 with two large grants from The Leverhulme Trust. In 2004 we were awarded ESRC Research Centre status, and CMPO now combines core funding from both the ESRC and the Trust.

The answers are very clear. Overall there is little or no impact on attainment, but those educated in grammar schools do substantially better (around four grade points more than pupils with the same Key Stage 2 (KS2) points in similar, but non-selective, areas).

  • Final Report from the Key Stage 3 Phase: Influences on Students’ Development from Age 11 – 14
    DFE-RB202 ISBN 978-1-78105-077-4 March 2012 EFFECTIVE PRE-SCHOOL, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION PROJECT (EPPSE 3-14) Final Report from the Key Stage 3 Phase: Influences on Students’ Development from age 11 – 14 Kathy Sylva$, Edward Melhuish+, Pam Sammons$, Iram Siraj-Blatchford*, and Brenda Taggart* *Institute of Education, University of London, + Birkbeck, University of London, $University of Oxford With Katalin Toth, Rebecca Smees, Diana Draghici, Aziza Mayo, and Wesley Welcomme Introduction Since 1997 the Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education project (EPPE/EPPSE) has investigated the attainment and development of approximately 3,000 children from pre-school to the end of Key Stage 3 (KS3). This current phase of the research explored how different phases of education, especially secondary school, are related to students’ attainment, social behaviour and dispositions at age 14 (Year 9 in secondary school) and the factors that predict developmental change. However, schools are not the only influence on students’ development; families and communities matter too and these ‘social’ influences are carefully studied in EPPSE 3-14. The net effects of neighbourhood, pre-school, primary and secondary school are reported after taking account of individual student and background influences. The adolescents in this current phase of the EPPSE study shape their own pathways as well as being influenced by their schools, family or neighbourhood. For this reason, this research highlights students’ perceptions of themselves as learners as well as their views of aspects of their secondary school provision and experience. For details of the full report see Sylva et al., 2012. Key findings Individual student characteristics, family and social background continue to influence academic and social-behavioural outcomes at the end of Key Stage 3 • Differences in academic attainment and social-behavioural development related to background emerged early (at age 3) and remained fairly stable to age 14.

  • Key Stage 3 Curriculum
    KEY STAGE 3 CURRICULUM At Cloughwood, Key Stage 3 begins in Year 7 and finishes at the end of Year 8. This is slightly different for most schools who include Year 9 in Key Stage 3. We have taken this decision to ensure that our Key Stage 4 Futures Curriculum can start at the beginning of Year 9, which means that all of our pupils have three full years in which to prepare for life beyond school in work, further education or training. So what does the Key Stage 3 curriculum look like? Our intention is to give all of our Year 7 and 8 pupils as broad a curriculum as possible. We therefore follow closely the National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 as most schools and academies do (for more information go to the curriculum timetable). It is important for our pupils in this Key Stage to have a broad experience, one which continues to build skills, knowledge and understanding of a range of subjects, whilst teaching the principles of learning to learn and Growth Mindset (for more information go to https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/). Those pupils who have made the transition from our Primary Department into Key Stage 3 will have experienced a very nurturing environment with our Primary teaching staff who work on Thrive principles (for more information go to https://www.thriveapproach.com/). Teaching our youngsters to feel safe and secure and to better manage their emotions, feelings and reduce anxiety. In Key Stage 3 we continue to support our pupils to develop better self-management skills and strengthen their motivation and independence by introducing some therapeutic teaching into the Key Stage 3 curriculum.
