Acknowledgements
The authors would like to thank the local authority personnel who gave up their time to be interviewed for the research. We would like to express our thanks to staff in the schools who were involved in the piloting stage of the research. We are particularly grateful for the contributions of staff in the survey sample of schools who completed questionnaires for us, and of school staff who attended the focus group sessions. The research team would also like to thank the pupils in the seven schools that participated in the pupil survey and pupil focus groups, and the member of staff interviewed in each of the seven schools.
Our thanks also go to members of the Steering Group at the Scottish Executive for their invaluable advice and support throughout the study.
Finally, we are grateful to our colleagues at NFER, in particular staff in the Statistics Research and Analysis Group (SRAG), from Research Data Services (our specialist survey administration service), and project support staff based at NFER's Northern Office.
