Abstract

This research brief presents findings from the DCSF Research Report ‘Identifying Components of Attainment Gaps’. The report combines uses data collected in the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (LSYPE) and matched data from the National Pupil Database (NPD) to investigate what contributes to gaps in Key Stage 4 (KS4) attainment between pupils with different characteristics. In particular, it looks at gaps between attainment of pupils known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM pupils) and those not known to be eligible, and also the gaps relating to pupils from underperforming ethnic minority groups. The report also presents findings relating to pupils with different aspirations with respect to whether they wanted to stay in full time education once they had reached age 16.
