Very happy to join @UoE_Economics as Postdoctoral Research Assistant. I will be working with @genn_rossi and Andy Dickerson on the @NuffieldFound project looking into the effects of school closures. Truly welcoming team and charming setting! Excited to be here!

One key point: most studies focus on exam performance.

We know much less about broader pupil outcomes and longer-term effects.

New paper in London Review of Education

With most pupils in England now in academies, what does the evidence say?

I review 14 causal studies:

• Early academies → improved attainment
• Post-2010 → mixed results
• Changes in pupil intake
