Boarding for 'in need' children

This Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) project aimed to look at the impact of boarding in state and independent boarding schools for children identified as ‘in need’, defined as those that require Local Authority support of some kind. It was intended to be co-funded with Local Authorities, boarding schools, the Department for Education (DfE) and other educational trusts. Buttle UK agreed to cover the majority of staff costs.

This project was evaluated by the University of Nottingham with involvement from the following School of Education colleagues:

• Dr David Murphy
• Dr Mary Oliver
• Sanam Pourhabib
• Dr Michael Adkins
• Professor Jeremy Hodgen
