- **Event Name**: CEPEO-ADRUK Practical Introduction to the National Pupil Database using R
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 10:30 am – Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for this in-person computer workshop to learn how to work with the National Pupil Database using RAbout this EventThe UCL Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities (CEPEO) are pleased to offer this in-person training opportunity in partnership with Administrative Data Research (ADR) UK.Delivered by expert users of the data, this in-person computer workshop will provide new users with practical insight into the content of the National Pupil Database (NPD) and how it can be used to address interesting and policy-relevant research questions.PracticalitiesThis course will be run using R. Attendees will need to have at least basic skills in R – e.g. the ability to read in data, make links between data tables and undertake basic descriptive and regression analysis – in order to get the most out of the session.Users should bring their own laptop with R pre-installed wherever possible.As places are very limited, please only sign up if you are confident that you will be able to attend. We have limited funding available to help cover travel costs for PhD students without recourse to other funds. Please contact us via Eventbrite if you would like to enquire about this possibility.Overview of contentThis workshop will provide a simplified simulation of the experience of addressing a policy-relevant research question using a synthetic version of the NPD. It will cover how the data can be used to address this question and discuss some of the decisions that researchers will need to make along the way. It will provide an overview of data tables in the NPD, with more detailed exploration of the Key Stage 4 attainment data, the pupil-level school census, measures of attainment from primary school, and attendance data. By the end of the workshop, users will have created a bespoke ‘research-ready’ dataset and used this to undertake some basic descriptive and regression analysis.Users will be able to keep copies of the code they create during the workshop but will NOT be able to retain the synthetic data (although we anticipate the synthetic data being made available for wider use in future).A more detailed itinerary is available to registered participants.

Our work seeks ways to improve education policy and wider practices to achieve this goal.What are we trying to achieve?We are one of the most unequal countries in the developed world, in terms of outcomes and opportunities. Our multidisciplinary work seeks to reduce these inequalities:We identify barriers to opportunity in under-explored areas, using innovative methods and thinking, and co-producing evidence-led policy solutions to reduce barriers to opportunities.We offer insight and impact at every stage of the life course, through the centre’s four main research streams: early years, schools, tertiary, and adulthood.We research previously unanswerable questions, through innovative data collection and analysis.We design, implement, and evaluate Randomised Control Trials (RCTs).We address novel questions in under-researched areas using existing large scale data from administrative sources, and from our rich birth cohort studies."
