Evaluation of Accelerator Fund activity in 2021 – 2022 aiming to strengthen the EEF’s pipeline of programmes to support more schools to use evidence-based programmes and practices.
Throughout the academic year 2021 to 2022, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) undertook a package of work aiming to strengthen the development of its pipeline of evidence-based programmes, to support more schools to use evidence-based programmes and evidence in their practice. This work was funded by the Department for Education’s Accelerator Fund (AF) between 2021 and 2022.
The AF aims to support recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, in this instance, by targeting three Regional School Commissioner (RSC) regions that have been particularly impacted by the pandemic: the North; East Midlands and Humber; and the West Midlands. The work focused on supporting schools in these areas to use evidence-based maths and literacy programmes to aid their recovery.
