The Education Endowment Foundation states:

Overall, studies of adventure learning interventions consistently show positive benefits on academic learning. On average, pupils who participate in adventure learning interventions make approximately four additional months’ progress. There is also evidence of an impact on non-cognitive outcomes such as self-confidence. The evidence suggests that the impact is greater for more vulnerable students and older learners (teenagers), longer courses (more than a week), and those in a ‘wilderness’ setting, though other types of intervention still show some positive impacts.

Overall, the impact of arts participation on academic learning appears to be positive. Improved outcomes have been identified in English, mathematics and science. Benefits have been found in both primary and secondary schools, with greater effects on average for younger learners and, in some cases, for disadvantaged pupils. Some arts activities have been linked with improvements in specific outcomes. For example, there is some evidence of a positive link between music and spatial awareness and between drama and writing. Wider benefits such as more positive attitudes to learning and increased well-being have also consistently been reported. EEF

A previous EEF effectiveness trial showed that offering pupils in primary schools a free and nutritious meal before school can boost their reading, writing, and maths results by an average of two months’ additional progress. Interestingly, it appears that it was not whether more pupils ate breakfast at all that made the difference, but whether more were going to the school breakfast club. It may be that school breakfasts are more nutritious than what pupils would otherwise have, or that attending the club effectively prepares pupils for learning. Breakfast club schools also saw an improvement in pupil behaviour.

Improved outcomes for Lac and PP pupils through accessing the above

• PP pupils to be offered a place in morning breakfast club and a variety of after school clubs
• Music lessons and choir practice is accessed by PP pupils
• PP pupils in Y6 to be offered a free residential experience

Overall, studies of oral language interventions consistently show positive impact on learning, including on oral language skills and reading comprehension. On average, pupils who participate in oral language interventions make approximately five months’ additional progress over the course of a year.

Overall, studies of oral language interventions consistently show positive impact on learning

All pupils appear to benefit from oral language interventions, but some studies show slightly larger effects for younger children and pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds (up to six months’ additional progress).

Some types of oral language interventions appear to be more effective than others, on average. Interventions which are directly related to text comprehension or problem-solving appear to have greater impact. There is also consistent evidence supporting reading to young children and encouraging them to answer questions and to talk about the story with a trained adult. A number of studies show the benefits of trained teaching assistants effectively supporting both oral language skills and reading outcomes. EEF

Phonics approaches have been consistently found to be effective in supporting younger readers to master the basics of reading, with an average impact of an additional four months’ progress. Research suggests that phonics is particularly beneficial for younger learners (4-7 year olds) as they begin to read. Teaching phonics is more effective on average than other approaches to early reading (such as whole language or alphabetic approaches), though it should be emphasised that effective phonics techniques are usually embedded in a rich literacy environment for early readers and are only one part of a successful literacy strategy. EEF

Two recent meta-analyses from the USA suggested that increasing parental engagement in primary and secondary schools had on average two to three months’ positive impact. There is some evidence that supporting parents with their first child will have benefits for siblings.  Parents’ aspirations also appear to be important for pupil outcomes, although there is limited evidence to show that intervening to change parents’ aspirations will raise their children’s aspirations and achievement over the longer term.

The EEF toolkit suggests that mastery learning accelerates progress. Work is challenging and is particularly effective when pupils work in groups and take responsibility for supporting each other’s progress.

Quality of teaching is the single most important driver of pupil attainment and a range of other positive outcomes. EEF.

The EEF toolkit suggests that interventions matched to specific pupils’ needs can be effective, particularly when delivered through 1:1 or through small group support.

Sutton Trust – Small Group Tuition – moderate impact, moderate cost +4 months Overall, evidence shows that small group tuition is effective and, as a rule of thumb, the smaller the group the better. It enables the teacher to focus exclusively on a small number of learners, usually in a separate classroom or working area. Intensive tuition in small groups is often provided to support lower attaining learners or those who are falling behind, but it can also be used as a more general strategy to ensure effective progress, or to teach challenging topics or skills.

Tutor Trust – Affordable Tutoring. The Tutor Trust provide affordable tuition to primary and secondary schools by recruiting and training university students as paid tutors. We ran a trial for Year 6 pupils in disadvantaged schools who were working below age-expected levels, and found students receiving tutoring from Tutor Trust made an additional 3 months progress compared to the control group. They currently work in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool. EEF

The impact of SEND on academic attainment is closely related to the EEF’s focus on economic disadvantage: 27% of pupils with special educational needs are eligible for free school meals compared to 12% of pupils without special educational needs.

The EEF toolkit suggests that interventions matched to specific pupils needs can be effective, particularly when delivered through 1:1 or through small group support.

The EEF toolkit suggests communication and language approaches are effective for developing young children’s expressive vocabulary and early reading skills learning, including their spoken language skills. Furthermore, Phonics approaches have been consistently effective in supporting younger readers to master the basics of reading.

Sutton Trust suggests that Oral Language Interventions have moderate impact for low cost +5 months. Oral language interventions emphasise the importance of spoken language and verbal interaction. Overall, studies of oral language interventions consistently show positive impact on learning, including on oral language skills and reading comprehension.

Sutton Trust suggest that Social and Emotional Learning has moderate impact for moderate cost +4 months:

Interventions which target social and emotional learning (SEL) seek to improve pupils’ interaction with others and self-management of emotions, rather than focusing directly on the academic or cognitive elements of learning. SEL interventions might focus on the ways in which students work with (and alongside) their peers, teachers, family or community. Social and emotional learning leads to greater engagement in learning. On average, SEL interventions have an identifiable and valuable impact on attitudes to learning and social relationships in school.

The EEF toolkit suggests that interventions matched to specific pupils’ needs can be effective, particularly when delivered through 1:1 or through small group support.

Quality of teaching is the single most important driver of pupil attainment and a range of other positive outcomes. EEF

Parents play a crucial role in supporting their children’s learning, and levels of parental engagement are consistently associated with children’s academic outcomes.͟ EEF

Evidence suggests that, on average, behaviour interventions can produce moderate improvements in academic performance along with a decrease in problematic behaviours. However, estimated benefits vary widely across the categories of programme described above. Impacts are larger for targeted interventions matched to specific students with particular needs or behavioural issues than for universal interventions or whole school strategies. School-level behaviour approaches are often related to improvements in attainment, but there is a lack of evidence to show that the improvements are actually caused by the behaviour interventions, rather than other school interventions happening the same time. Parental and community involvement programmes are often associated with reported improvements in school ethos or discipline and so are worth considering as alternatives to direct behaviour interventions.

Approaches such as improving teachers’ behaviour management and pupils’ cognitive and social skills seem to be equally effective.

• Barriers to learning, as a result of Children’s social, emotional and mental health difficulties, are reduced/ removed
• Learning behaviours improve (reflected in termly Behaviour report)
