What is the role of schooling in the integration and settlement process of new Polish migrants to the UK?

Though the post-accession migration wave from Poland to the UK was initially seen as transient, a clear trend towards settlement and family formation has by now been acknowledged. One of the signifiers of the settlement process is the considerable increase in numbers of Polish children in British schools (DCSF 2007). CPC research published in a new COMPAS Breakfast Briefing explores the issues related to schooling and how these impact on the integration of Polish families and their future migration decisions.

Paulina Trevena, Derek McGhee and Sue Heath who co-authored the paper presented the work at the Centre on Migration, Society and Policy (COMPAS) in April.
