  Data shows children who didn't take part in the activities, run and funded by various governments, private companies and charities, did just as well in GCSE tests. By looking at five years of data she found that among the 300 schools who participated there was no impact on maths GCSE results. Comparator schools had a slightly lower figure of students doing well at mathematics at first, but results soon caught up with those at schools who were taking part in intervention activities.
Paper Context: Schools with a higher percentage of FSM eligible pupils had a lower percentage of pupils achieving A*-C in maths, and vice versa. A similar trend was observed each year. All of these are indicative of a lower socio-economic status and hence FSM eligibility was used as a disadvantage measure here.
