They will inform the Institute of Education of these before they conduct any analysis of the test score data. The Institute of Education will then compare children?s performance on these questions / sub-scales as secondary outcomes. Corrections for multiple testing will be applied if appropriate. GCSE test scores (follow-up in June 2018) will also be a secondary outcome. Previous secondary outcome measures until 29/04/2013: GCSE grades / performance in national math exam at age 16 | — |
