ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The EPPE project is a major longitudinal study funded by the Department for Education. The research would not be possible without the support and co-operation of the six Local Authorities (LAs) and the many pre-school centres, primary schools, children and parents participating in the research. We would like to give special thanks to the research assistants: Rosemary Ellis, Jill Head, Isabella Hughes, Rose Jennings, Margaret Kehoe, Laura Manni, Helen Mirelman, Stella Muttock and John Stokes who collected the data for this report. We are also grateful to Professor John Siraj-Blatchford for his advice on the early stages of this study and the children and staff of Hamilton Primary School and their headteacher, Graeme Aldous, for helping us refine the pedagogical strategies; their feedback was very helpful. In addition we are grateful to Christopher Stone of Arthur Terry School for allowing us access to his school's policies.
