This report presents the results of analyses related to the Key Stage 2 phase of a major longitudinal study investigating the influence of pre-school and primary school on children’s cognitive and social/behavioural development (EPPE 3-11) in England. The focus of this report is on children’s cognitive attainments at the end of Year 5.
The EPPE 3-11 project is following up the sample to the end of primary schooling (age 11 years plus). The research has adopted an educational effectiveness design and mixed methods approach (Sammons et al., 2005; Siraj-Blatchford et al., 2006) in order to investigate child, family and home influences on developmental outcomes so that the relative importance of these influences can be studied in relation to the strength of pre-school and primary school factors.
