Poorer children's educational attainment: how important are attitudes and behaviour?
Abstract
This report examines the extent to which the aspirations, attitudes and behaviour of parents and children can help explain why poor children typically do worse at school than children from richer backgrounds. It is based on the analysis of a number of large-scale longitudinal data sources capturing groups of children in the UK from early childhood through to late adolescence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
