About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to Ecorys UK for a process evaluation of the department's programme to expand extracurricular activity in opportunity areas.

The evaluation examined how the policy was implemented and delivered, how funded programmes sought to increase participation of disadvantaged pupils, participation rates throughout the funded programmes, pupils' experiences, and factors that helped or hindered the policy's effectiveness.

The research involved analysis of management information, qualitative interviews with opportunity area programme leads, a pulse survey of extracurricular activity providers, and focus groups with pupils who did and did not participate (or dropped out) and their parents/carers.

The contract value was AUD 95,805.
