• Which approaches to school leadership, management and governance help create the right environment for all children to learn, and how can they be more widely embedded?

Background

very child and young person, regardless of their background, must be able to achieve and thrive, particularly at school, to develop the knowledge and skills they need for life. Thriving centres on both feeling good (having a high subjective wellbeing and a positive sense of belonging), and doing well (having a positive sense of accomplishment, autonomy, and physical and mental health). Other areas of research interest regarding this pillar of the Opportunity Mission span SEND; attendance; health and wellbeing both in and out of school; school belonging and engagement; and enrichment activities and childcare for school- aged children. (For brevity, please read references to children as encompassing both children and young people where appropriate.)
