Will the Minister confirm the publication date of the second evaluation of the implementation of Schools Challenge Cymru (SCC) in Pathways to Success schools (PtS), that were undertaken between May and July 2016?
As set out in my response to your Written Assembly Question on 4 November (WAQ71335), a second wave of Schools Challenge Cymru evaluation fieldwork was undertaken from May to July 2016, the results of which are currently being analysed. This analysis will incorporate the verified GCSE results when they are available from December, with a further report expected to be published in Spring 2017. Please note that this report will be published according to Government Social Research publications protocol. This protocol requires research outputs to be published within 12 weeks of an agreed draft. The date of publication will be pre-announced on the Statistics and Research pages of the Welsh Government website in advance of publication.
