About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to The Policy Institute, King's College London for the evaluation of Opportunity North East (ONE) projects aimed at improving pupil outcomes through better transition from key stage 2 to key stage 3.

The contract, valued at AUD 139,373, involved assessing the impact of around 4-5 distinct school, academy trust, or local authority-led projects, each using a different approach.

The evaluation included individual project-level impact evaluations and a process evaluation covering all funded projects.

The appointed evaluator worked with projects to shape programmes and data gathering to enable impact evaluation, with the department deciding which projects proceeded to full evaluation.

The ONE programme, announced in October 2018, aimed to improve outcomes for young people in the North East, where average key stage 2 outcomes were strong but secondary and post-16 outcomes lagged behind other regions.
