This research shows that going to a primary school with better classroom and school practices has a positive effect on children's progress between years one and five, over and above the well-recognised influences of home background and prior attainment.

Are you getting it right? A toolkit for consulting young people on sex and relationships education (26th March 2008)
A new initiative developed by the Sex Education Forum, based at NCB, will give school pupils the opportunity to influence what they are taught in sex and relationships education (SRE) lessons, so that it helps them make safe and healthy choices. The SRE audit ‘toolkit’ will help schools canvas young people’s opinions on what they think they should learn about, at what age, and who they think their SRE should be delivered by – with choices ranging from their teacher or peer educators to outside experts.
