This case study explains how the Data for Children Collaborative helped the Northern Alliance uncover a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which educational attainment can be negatively affected by poverty, frame the conversation and layout logical project steps. 

This report by CivicDataLab captures the work undertaken with stakeholders to identify the shared knowledge gap across local authorities, identify the most appropriate indicators and map the suitable data sources that can be used at the school catchment aggregation.

As part of our Northern Alliance project, this report by the Fraser of Allander Institute looks across a wide range of data, some of which are rural specific, to scope out alternative evidence that could be used by schools and local authorities to identify issues that may be impacting attainment.

As part of our project: Understanding Poverty and Attainment Across the Northern Alliance Region, The University of Strathclyde’s Fraser of Allander Institute completed a statistical analysis paper of the educational mobility of primary schools across Scotland.
