- W1518974404 abstract "We present results of an ESRC-funded study into variations in student enrolment and attainment in different subjects. Recent English policy proposals indicate a further extension of specialist secondary schools and relaxation of the National Curriculum requirements for students aged 14-16. These initiatives, together with negative comments related to ‘bog standard comprehensives’, seem to imply that a lack of choice or variation in English secondary schooling was constraining attempts to raise educational attainment levels. Policy appears again to have outstripped evidence since we know relatively little about the extent and consequences of student choice within secondary schools. In principle, increased within-school choice can raise educational attainment levels if it enables parents, students, teachers and heads to improve the match between the curriculum studied and the particular aspirations and abilities of students. We explore the extent and determinants of within-school choice using crosssectional data drawn from the YELLIS database held by the Curriculum, Evaluation and Management Centre at the University of Durham. Our analysis reveals large variation between schools in GCSE exam entries in Geography, History, Modern Foreign Languages, Business Studies and Home Economics. We show that the proportions of this variation that are due to school level factors (such as school governance and size) and the characteristics of the cohort of pupils attending a school are both relatively small. We consider the implications of these results for policy on curriculum specialisation between and within schools." @default.
