Abstract

This paper provides a brief outline of the New Community Schools (NCS) Programme launched in November 1998 (Scottish Office, 1998) and the research design adopted by the national evaluation of pilot phase 1 NCS. It describes one of the approaches to local data collection adopted by the national evaluation, namely the development of self-report questionnaires. The questionnaires collect indicators of key NCS activity as part of the process of monitoring the development of the pilot NCS across phase 1. A selection of interim findings from the responses to key questionnaire items is reported, exploring perceived impact over the first year of the pilot programme.
