Every 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; attainment; SEND; attendance; school belonging and engagement; and enrichment activities and childcare for school- aged children. (For brevity, please read all references to children as encompassing both children and young people where appropriate.)
