Pupils\u27 self-perceptions and views of primary school in Year 5

The Effective Pre-School and Primary Education 3-11 (EPPE 3-11) project investigates the impact of pre- school, primary school and family on a range of outcomes for a national sample of approximately 2,800 children in England between the ages of 3 and 11 years. This Research Brief presents findings on pupils\u27 Self-perceptions (\u27 Enjoyment of school\u27, \u27Anxiety and Isolation\u27, \u27Academic self-image\u27 and \u27Behavioural self-image\u27 ) and their views of different features of primary school (\u27 Teachers\u27 support for pupils\u27 learning\u27, \u27Headteacher qualities\u27 and \u27Positive social environment\u27 ) in Year 5. The analyses involved two steps: first, differences in pupils\u27 Self-perceptions and Views of primary school measured at Year 5 were explored, in relation to child, family and Home Learning Environment (HLE) characteristics. Second, the relationships between pupils\u27 Self-perceptions and their Views of primary school and educational outcomes and progress, both cognitive (Reading and Mathematics) and social/behavioural (\u27Self-regulation\u27, \u27Hyperactivity\u27, \u27Pro-social\u27 and \u27Anti-social\u27 behaviour) were investigated. The analyses also explored pupils\u27 Self-perceptions measured at a younger age (Year 2) and how they relate to children\u27s later cognitive and social/behavioural outcomes in Year 5 and progress from Year 1 to Year 5
