2. The Sutton Trust-EEF Toolkit
The Sutton Trust-EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit is designed to provide a summary of current evidence in a useable form for an audience that includes teachers and school leaders.
It reviews the evidence in terms of the amount of progress that can be expected by carrying out an intervention and compares it to the cost of the intervention.
It also provides an indication of the strength of the supporting evidence.

These strategies
are much more expensive, but they have strong positive effects, so consider these next. These strategies are
an effective way
to deploy pupil premium funding.

These interventions have a lower impact and are costlier.
These may be a use for pupil premium, especially if better value interventions are already in place.
Consider carefully whether they are worth implementing.

These have no positive impact based on the current evidence. Bear in mind that the evidence base is generally weaker here. If you are spending a lot of time and/or resources implementing these then consider whether this represents best value for
money.

21. Words of caution
Remember the larger the bubble, the stronger the evidence at this time – pay more attention to large bubbles than small ones.
The evidence base is being increased all of the time so our understanding of ‘what works’ can and will change.
There may be reasons (other than progress) for making a decision, for example in the case of school uniform there may be other reasons to have/introduce a uniform.
