Executive Summary
The third stage of the Competent Children project looked at what might be making a difference to children's competency scores at age 8. The analysis included some things children experienced at this age, such as the type of school they went to, their out-of-school activities, and their reading at home. It also included some experiences from the time before they started school, and from the time they were 6, such as their early childhood education, or their family's income at age 5, the amount of television they watched, and their access to a computer at home.
