Exploring How The Pandemic Affected Gospel Oak Primary School Student Attainment

Public Deposited

Teachers around the world are noticing students struggling in the classroom since returning to in-person learning post-pandemic. At Gospel Oak Primary school, located in London, staff have noticed increased rates of developmental delays and decreasing attainment levels post-pandemic. We conducted staff interviews (n:10) and surveys (n:3) to understand staff observations during and post-pandemic, along with an analysis of standardised testing and academic records. We determine that older students [9-11] were minimally affected, students 7-9 were impacted academically and students 3-7 were impacted developmentally. Our findings identify areas of concern based on where students are performing below expectations, which the school can use to tailor interventions to support struggling students.
