no improvement regarding school results and unauthorised absences for participants

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

The trial did not find evidence that the programme had an impact on GCSE scores, absences, or attitudes. This was a small pilot RCT so these findings have low security. The pilot found no positive impact on unauthorised absences or GCSE scores amongst students that took part in the programme.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
The pilot was evaluated using a range of qualitative methods and a small Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT). The aims of the evaluation were to determine whether a future large-scale evaluation was possible, and to gain an initial estimate of the programme’s impact on GCSE scores, the likelihood of continuing into post-compulsory education, and decreasing pupil absences. Randomisation took place at both school and pupil level. Within the two randomly assigned intervention schools, eligible pupils were randomly allocated either to an intervention group or a within-school control group. Across the four schools, there were 181 pupils in the Y11 cohort, 40 of whom received the intervention, and 160 pupils in the Y10 cohort, 37 of whom received the intervention.
