The impact of residential experiences on pupil progress and attainment in year six (10-11 year olds) in England: a Learning Away comparative research study

The comparative study in this design focusses on examining the provisional findings for the impact of residentials on progress and attainment indicated in previous research findings and the Learning Away evaluation report (Kendall & Rodger, 2015). This study was funded by a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to the Learning Away Consortium of the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom. It was undertaken in partnership with the residential provider, the Brathay Trust, and a Local Authority. The research took place with eight primary schools in the academic year 2017-2018.
