Factors influencing primary school pupils' educational outcomes

Details

This report presents findings from a rapid literature review.

It supports the second cohort of the Education and Outcomes Panel Study (EOPS) research programme. The study is called ‘EOPS-B’ or ‘Five to Twelve’.

The review identifies:

  • factors that affect primary school pupils’ attainment and outcomes, including risk factors and protective factors
  • gaps in the existing evidence

The Department for Education (DfE) commissioned the report to guide data collection for EOPS-B.

The report will help to provide new longitudinal evidence on factors influencing attainment and wider outcomes in primary school.
