Promising Programmes

When you’re considering how to embed evidence into your school, you might consider evidence-based approaches, such as the findings from the Toolkit on feedback, phonics or metacognition; or our guidance on best practices in education. Alongside these approaches, you may also need to identify evidence-based programmes to support high-quality teaching, targeted academic support or wider school strategies. Here you can find the programmes we’ve tested that have shown promising results on pupil attainment, find out about the features of the programme and how you can access them.

Podcast: Sustaining your Pupil Premium strategy

Have a listen to EEF’s Senior Policy Manager, Natalie Ohene, talk through the findings of a research project investigating how schools in England allocate spending on their Pupil Premium statements. Then hear from 2 school leaders, Lisa Wise and Stuart Mayle discussing how they sustain their Pupil Premium strategy.

Research Schools work with other schools in their area to help them use evidence more effectively. You can contact your local Research School for support when developing your Pupil Premium strategy:

The Research Schools Network

The Research Schools Network is a network of schools that support the use of evidence to improve teaching practice.
