‘RCTs are not, of course, a panacea; the evidence they
generate does not act as a substitute for professional
judgement…’

‘It is important to note that the process of meta-analysis
is not entirely objective.’

‘The evidence can give us a general steer –
a ‘best bet’ – but it cannot give us a recipe,
template or guarantee. We might say that
the evidence generates a theoretical
framework: a set of general principles and
mechanisms rather than a specific
implementation or formula.’

If students engage in extra-curricular activity for at least a
year, attendance improves.
Students below 96% attendance attain, on average, one
grade less than they should have.
School attendance is the foundation of school and social
success.
Encouraging relationship building activities that foster
cooperation and responsibility.

You actually have to fail
at things in order that
you might have
anything worthwhile to
say. It is the experience
of the pain of failure in
life that makes your
work have meaning,
that makes your voice
sufficiently rich with
experience to elicit
empathic response.
Phil Beadle, 2017

We can’t teach Grit but we can provide the conditions in which we
can grow grit.
Engagement with extra-curricular activities and peer-mentoring
led to better attendance.
Conversations had more impact than rewards.

Campfire pedagogy – geography fieldwork is the most memorable aspect of what happens when I speak to students during exit interviews. We are responsible for providing quality learning experiences . Slow learning
When did you really look at your learners? Where is the role of effective feedback aimed at developing the well rounded student? Spoke to them all using structured conversations
Research projects - just about coming to an end for this year - time for learning and reflection - focused upon Pupil Premium students not because the Government told us to do it, but because it is the right thing to do.
Four research bursars.
