The results showed a statistically significant relationship between increases in expenditure on Teaching Assistants (TA) and improved student attainment. The results also showed a stronger and more reliable relationship between increases in the actual number of TAs and improved student attainment. The analysis showed that the larger the number of TAs in a school, the stronger the relationship with improved attainment. Overall, the results suggest that greater expenditure on teaching assistants, more than additional expenditure on any other type of associate staff, is associated with gains in student attainment.
