The Education Endowment Foundation
• The EEF is an independent charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement.
• In 2011 the Education Endowment Foundation was set up by Sutton Trust as lead charity in partnership with the Impetus Trust. The EEF is funded by a Department for Education grant of £125m and will spend over £200m over its fifteen year lifespan. • In 2013, the EEF was named with The Sutton Trust as the government designated ‘What Works’ centre for improving education outcomes for school-aged children.
Our approach
Synthesise, share and promote the use of evidence Make grants, based on existing evidence Evaluate projects and report findings
EEF projects
We are working to fund, develop and evaluate projects that:
• Build on existing evidence.
• Will generate significant new understanding of what works. • Can be replicated cost effectively if proven to work.
Examples:
Effective use of teaching assistants, lesson study, texting parents.
Projects in Hertfordshire
Current projects
• Philosophy for Children • Developing Healthy Minds in Teenagers • Improving Literacy and Numeracy in Key Stage 1 • Word and World Reading Programme

First EEF reports
New report: Reading at the Transition
• Assess the size and scale of the reading gap at the transition from primary to secondary school.
• Provides information about 24 literacy catch-up approaches being tested by the EEF.
• Reviews the wider evidence on a range of approaches including phonics, reading comprehension strategies, summer schools and small group tuition.

Case study: the Pupil Premium
• Your school receives £100,000 from the Pupil Premium.
• How should you use this money?
• Possible options: One to one tuition, reducing class size or peer tutoring?
The Toolkit doesn’t tell you what to do, but we hope that it will help them make a more informed decision.

Three rules of thumb for using evidence
1. Use the evidence as a starting point for discussion 2. Dig deeper into what the evidence actually says 3. Understand the
‘active ingredients
’ of implementation
