Lessons from Learning Away: coordinators’ focus groups
As part of the wider evaluation of Learning Away, Paul Hamlyn Foundation asked evaluators York Consulting to undertake focus groups with school-based staff who have been involved in the initiative to develop a better understanding of coordinators’ and schools’ experiences and views of Learning Away.
A total of 60 schools (primary, secondary and special), operating in 13 partnerships, are involved in delivering Learning Away and each partnership is led by a Learning Away coordinator. This report shares insights gathered at two focus groups attended by coordinators from 10 of the 13 partnerships.
