The EPPSE 3-14 project is a major longitudinal study funded by the DCSF. 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 and secondary schools, children and parents participating in the research. We are particularly grateful to Wesley Welcomme, Stephen Hunt, Helen Sawyer, Charlotte Hazeldine and Kate Coxon for their contribution in preparing this report.
