To change we need to recognise the problem Research from around the world indicates that the problem is under achievement of children from poor backgrounds? Why does research conclude this? Looking at raw numbers does not take into account other clustering factors eg school performance, family background How can we understand the problem better? Complex problem requiring complex statistical analysis Cross community problem Affects both genders Poverty issue www.qub.ac.uk/cesi

Targeted interventions Target by population (who is under achieving) Target resource (eg pupil premium linked to FSM in England) Effective monitoring Targeted inspection and support Target by intervention www.qub.ac.uk/cesi
