Summer Schools Evaluation (con_11290)

As part of the wider recovery package to support children to recover missed learning and development due to the pandemic, 200 million pounds will be made available to secondary schools to deliver face-to-face summer schools this year. The objectives of the summer schools programme are as follows:

1. Provide an academic boost and improvements to wellbeing and physical and mental health, achieved through a mix of academic and enrichment activity to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on learning and development. 2. Ensure extra support for pupils which schools feel would most benefit.

This research is required to test the summer schools concept in an education recovery context, and to provide evidence to inform policy makers decisions.
