School MOVES: The School Mobility Outcomes, Voices and Experiences Study<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

This project offers a comprehensive understanding of pupil school mobility in England, through exploring experiences of non-standard school moves, from the perspectives of children and young people, their families and the teachers and local authorities working with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pupil school mobility describes the phenomenon of pupils moving school for reasons other than standard age-based, structural transitions. It affects a significant proportion of the English school population and may have different impacts the lives and education of pupils who move. Little is known about the consequences of different mobility frequencies, types and pathways for children\u2019s educational experiences and attainment. There is also a lack of understanding of both risk factors or protective mechanisms at household, school or local level, which would enable the development of more tailored support or targeted policy and practice interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project aims to provide a detailed and in-depth analysis of pupil school mobility, considering mobility frequencies, types and pathways of different groups of children and their consequences for children\u2019s educational experiences and attainment. It also analyses pupil school mobility at the school and local authority level to identify particular patterns locally and any school or local authority policies and practices addressing pupil school mobility.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
