Spending and outcomes In England, spending has increased by 47% since 2001, but over this period improvements in pupil outcomes have been marginal.
Applying evidence in practice Step 1: What do you want to achieve? Identify school priorities using internal data and professional judgement. Step 2: Identifying possible solutions Step 5: Securing and spreading change Step 3: Giving the idea the best chance of success Step 4: Did it work? External evidence summarised in the Toolkit can be used to inform choices. Evaluate the impact of your decisions and identify potential improvements for the future. Mobilise the knowledge and use the findings to inform the work of the school to grow or stop the intervention. Applying the ingredients of effective implementation.
Our work to date • So far, we have funded 56 projects working with 1,800 schools and 300,000 pupils, building on the 5,500 studies in the Toolkit. • Examples: What is the impact of Saturday schools, learning to play a musical instrument, or engaging in lesson study?
