Effective Pre-school and Primary Education 3-11 Project (EPPE 3-11) Influences on children's attainment and progress in Key Stage 2: Cognitive outcomes in Year 5 Research brief

摘要

Effective Pre-School and Primary Education 3-11 (EPPE 3-11) (2003-2008) builds on the work of the earlier Effective Provision of Pre-School Education (EPPE) project (1996-2003) which investigated the impact of preschool provision on a national sample of young children in England between the ages of 3 and 7 years. EPPE 3-11 is following the same sample of around 2,500 children to age 11, the end of Key Stage 2. This Research Brief focuses on the relationships between various child, family, home, pre-school and primary school characteristics and measures of children’s cognitive attainment in Year 5 of primary school (age 10). It compares these findings to the impact of the same factors when the children were in Year 1 (age 6). The brief also reports findings about the combined influence of pre-school and primary school experience on children’s cognitive attainment in Year 5.
