Schools with good attendance wanted for EEF trials
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) has partnered with the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) to build evidence of what works in improving attendance and reducing exclusions.
The research comes after the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) published a report to identify strategies that could help boost attendance.
Overall, the review found that the evidence on how to improve attendance is weak, with very few studies taking place in English schools, and was unable to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of several approaches.
The EEF and YEF will fund and evaluate programmes and practices in England and Wales that could both keep children safe from involvement in violence and improve academic attainment, by ensuring they attend, positively engage with, and remain in school/college.
The two organisations are seeking applications from schools, charities or other organisations with promising initiatives that could improve attendance and reduce exclusions. They are keen to fund trials of approaches in several priority areas, including anti-bullying, social and emotional learning and targeted family engagement.
Applications for funding will close on Monday 16th May 2022.
