SEED is a major longitudinal study commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) that has followed nearly 6,000 children from across England from age two until the end of Key Stage One (age 7). The key objectives of SEED are to explore how the characteristics of the early environment, including early childhood education and care (ECEC) and home and parenting, relate to child development and child outcomes over time. The aim of the SEED extension is to understand the medium-to-long term, as well as the wider, outcomes associated with the early years. The study will utilise the current SEED cohort and produce new research outputs when the children reach the end of Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4. It is envisaged that Key Stage 2 fieldwork will take place over 2022/2023 and that data linking to the NPD will commence in 2023. Further linkage to the NPD will take place in 2028 when the cohort reach the end of Key Stage 4. Project design and set up will commence in Spring/ Summer 2021. We expect the project and contract to last until mid-late 2029. Additional information about SEED can be found here at the SEED website.
