OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Investigating Alternate Provision.
Alternative Provision (AP) schools provide education for pupils who can’t go to mainstream schools. Although they are commonly associated with pupils who have been permanently excluded, they also cater for pupils with a range of other needs including school refusers, those who are ill and those without a school place. Despite increased attention being paid to the sector in recent years, very little information is published about pupils who spend time in AP or their outcomes. In this session I will present work I have been undertaking to fill in some of the evidence gaps on AP using administrative data. Around 3% of pupils spend some time at a state-funded AP school during their school career. However, their outcomes (attendance, attainment and post-16 destinations) tend to be poor. More broadly, the session will cover the administrative data resources available to researchers studying the education system in England. These allow detailed investigation of narrow segments of the population for which data may be sparse in other sources (e.g. survey datasets).
