Abstract
The aims of this national evaluation project are to examine the impact of Achievement for All (AfA) on a variety of outcomes1 for pupils with SEND and to find out what processes and practices in schools are most effective in improving these outcomes. Our research design comprises (a) a quantitative strand involving longitudinal assessment of outcomes for approximately 16,000 pupils with SEND (including a comparison group of pupils attending schools that are not involved in AfA) through teacher surveys, parent surveys and academic attainment data, and (b) a qualitative strand involving interviews with key strategic figures, longitudinal case studies of 20 AfA schools, ‘mini‐case studies’ of 100 pupils/families, and ad‐hoc data collection at a range of events relating to AfA. The findings presented in this report are derived from data collected during the first year of the project.https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/RSG/AllPublications/Page1/DFE-RR123
