Abstract

The successful targeting of resources towards those who will benefit most is key to raising standards in schools. This research makes a quantitative assessment of the impact of resources in primary schools. Data from the National Pupil Database, Schools Census, Section 52 and Consistent Financial Reporting was used to form an education production function whereby pupil attainment is seen to be a function of pupil characteristics, their school and peer group characteristics, and school resources.
