The Nuffield Foundation funded a six-year independent review of 14-19 education and training from October 2003 to September 2009. The Nuffield Review was carried out by a Directorate of Richard Pring and Geoff Hayward from the University of Oxford Department of Education, Ann Hodgson and Ken Spours from the Institute of Education, University of London, Jill Johnson from UCAS, Ewart Keep from SKOPE, based at Cardiff University and Gareth Rees from Cardiff University.

The team brought to the Review extensive networks of research and development - the many schools and local education authorities associated with the Institute’s London Region Post-14 Network, the ESRC Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE), directed jointly by Oxford and Cardiff, the incomparable links between UCAS and schools and higher education institutions. In addition, the Review established close links with the extensive research and development of the Learning and Skills Network (LSN) and of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER).

The Review has produced a number of publications including a series of Issues Papers, focusing on various topics within 14-19 education, and earlier Annual Reports. These publications, and papers commissioned by the Review, are available on this website under 'documents'.

The final report of the Review was published by Routledge in June 2009. Details are available by under 'documents'.
