dc.description.abstractThe provision of Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) for school pupils considering their next move after compulsory schooling is of great importance to them and their families. This study focused on three schools in a region in England that has suffered economic deprivation and low educational attainment. It sought to uncover how factors such as schools, teachers, friends and families, and the provision of IAG, impact on pupils’ ideas about careers and higher study. Several investigations have set out how this provision and subsequent choice of progression to higher education (HE) is mediated through a number of cultural, social, economic and institutional influences. This research followed a mixed-methods approach to data collection, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection tools that provided elements of positivist and interpretivist paradigms. The results reveal a complex landscape, characterised by a limited understanding of progression to HE and a lack of clarity about options, but nevertheless, there are aspirations towards further study. The research has implications for IAG provision and has potential impact with respect to the need for a more consistent approach.en
