Description

A process evaluation of the department's programme to expand extracurricular activity in opportunity areas. We want to understand: how this policy has been implemented and delivered; how funded programmes have sought to increase the participation of disadvantaged pupils in extracurricular activity; participation rates throughout the course of the funded programmes; pupils' experiences of the programmes and where improvements, if any, could be made; and any factors that are believed to have helped or hindered the policy's effectiveness. We expect the research to involve analysis of management information; qualitative interviews with opportunity area programme leads; a pulse survey of extracurricular activity providers; and focus groups with pupils who have and have not participated in the schemes (or those who have dropped out) and the parents/carers of these young people.
