Title of Study: Perceptions of professionals and parents on the current compulsory school starting age in England.

Name of Researcher: Jade Dickson

Dear Participants,

I am currently an undergraduate student at Newcastle College, study for a BA (Hons) Degree in Children and Young People, as part of this I will be researching professionals and parent’s perceptions on the current compulsory school starting age in England. Data received from carrying out this research will be used in my final dissertation.

The aim of this research project is to explore professionals and parents views on the current compulsory school starting age in the UK. The project will also investigate if participants believe the current formal teaching in schools for children aged 4 and 5 is appropriate or if more children would benefit from an alternative curriculum such as a play based curriculum until a later age. Unlike the majority of other countries, in the UK the compulsory school starting age is 5.

The research will involve completing a questionnaire relating to the aims outlined above and should take no more than 15 minutes of your time to complete. Some questions may include personal information to give the researcher an idea of your background but all completed questionnaires will be kept confidential throughout the research project and will be secured, stored and disposed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. You have the right to remain anonymous and also have the right to withdraw from the research, if you wish to do so.

Finally, if you have any questions regarding this research or would like to withdraw, please feel free to email me on S1126042@ncl-coll.ac.uk.
