Students’ educational and developmental outcomes at age 16Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE 3-16) Project : September 2014
2014
Book synopsis: This report focuses on a large number of teenagers poised at the start of young
adulthood. Most have continued after compulsory schooling to study further academic
qualifications (typically ‘AS/A’ levels), some were following more vocational routes, and a
small number were NEET (‘not in education, employment or training’). All are drawn from
a national study of the developmental pathways of children and young people. The
Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE) study has followed
nearly 2600 young people from early childhood to age 16. The findings from seven
technical reports on the young people at age 16 are summarised here to explore the
most important influences on developmental pathways that lead to GCSE achievement,
mental well-being, social behaviours and aspirations for the future, all at the end of
statutory education (age 16).
The overall aim of this large-scale longitudinal study is to explore individual, family, home
learning environment (HLE), pre-school, school and neighbourhood influences on the
developmental and educational outcomes of young people. More specifically the EPPSE
study at age 16 aims to investigate:
the influence of family background, home and out of school learning on young
people’s academic results, dispositions and social-behavioural outcomes at age
16, followed by career path destinations at age 16+
the influence of pre-school, primary and secondary school in shaping variations in
outcomes
changes in the patterns of influence across different phases in education
how far experiences and outcomes differ for particular groups of students e.g.,
boys or girls, those who are disadvantaged by family background or poverty or who
have additional needs
the long term effects of pre-school and the estimated economic benefits of preschool
experience to individuals/households income and predicted subsequent
contribution to the Exchequer.
