research project visiting nine schools across the borough
The research project visiting nine schools is examining factors influencing pupil engagement and curriculum visibility to address the attainment gap.
Barnet Council officers conducted a research project visiting nine schools across the borough in March 2026. This project examines factors influencing pupil engagement and curriculum visibility, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and Black Caribbean students, as part of a strategy to address the attainment gap.
The research involved discussions with school leaders and pupils to understand the intersectionality with pupils eligible for free school meals and those with special educational needs and disabilities. No further developments or upcoming discussions regarding the project have been reported since March 2026.
