Tier 2 - The continuing effects of pre-school education

This study aims to establish whether the effects of pre-school that were apparent at entry to
school continue through to Key Stage 2 for 2400+ children in 700+ schools. Statistical models
will examine the extent to which pre-school centres have any continuing impact on pupil
attainment at age 11, after controlling for children's performance in relevant assessments at entry
to reception (rising 5) and for social background. The study will identify children who have
‘succeeded beyond the odds’ and children whose early profiles were sound but who later
underachieved, despite average or good early profiles. The study will investigate the factors
associated with these resilient and vulnerable trajectories. The study will also continue to monitor
the progress and development of various groups of children ‘at risk ‘of SEN as identified in the
linked EYTSEN extension study.

Tier 3 - Investigating educational processes

Approximately 1600+ EPPE children attend 125 focal schools. These EPPE children and their
classmates will help us investigate in more detail the contribution to children’s outcomes of
classroom and school processes. This research will also provide further information on
classroom and school climate and other processes related to children’s attainment and social
development. The multilevel modelling techniques applied in the full sample study will be used,
but in this case the range of predictor variables will include measures of classroom and school
processes. Thus, we will have available more information on classroom and school processes to
include in the statistical models explaining educational effectiveness and resilience.
