Research by Thanassoulis and Portela (2002, p.183), who analysed a large data sample from A level students concluded...

“a pupil’s own application accounts for the major part of any under-attainment...”

They go on to suggest that underachievement at A level is due more to a lack of pupil application than due to a lack of school effectiveness (2002, P.193). They conclude that...

“both schools and pupils can contribute to improving pupil attainment but the larger component can come from the pupils’ own application...” (2002, p.199).
