Abstract

This paper gives some background to claims of benefit from road lighting and why large beneficial claims may be suspect. It places this in the context of general concerns about the unreliability of claims in science using knowledge gained, particularly from investigations in the field of health-care. It points to the need to plan, proceed and check science in unbiased and rigorous ways. It gives recommendations for more transparency, asks for clear protocols to be produced in advance, that clear reports are written which follow appropriate reporting guidelines and that the data is accessible.

Abstract

This paper examines the effects of key characteristics on achievement at the end of Key Stage 2 with reference to the results of all KS2 pupils in one LEA in the north of England. It offers new evidence of the relative impact of various pupil characteristics on performance by using generalised regression methods, which take account of the structure of the data. The paper explores simultaneously the impact on achievement of school attended and school cluster (based on groups of feeder schools) and four pupil factors; namely, gender, age, social disadvantage (defined in terms of entitlement to free school meals) and having English as an additional language. It discusses the findings with respect to other recent studies in the field.
