Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which initiatives the Education Endowment Foundation has funded since its establishment; and what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of each such initiative.

Since the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) was established in 2011 through a £125 million grant from the Government, it has revolutionised the use of evidence in education. It has made grants worth £83 million to 133 projects working with over 8,300 schools and has published individual evaluation reports on 66 completed projects. The EEF has also identified nine programmes that it has previously tested and which show particular promise; each of which will receive further grant funding in order to test its impact at a larger scale. Full details of all of the projects that the EEF has funded to date, and evaluation reports on those which are complete, are published by the EEF on its website at: www.educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk.
