Spending Review: A missed opportunity?

Investments in teacher pay, free school meals and technology are a good start – but fall short of what’s needed for children and young people.

We cannot raise standards without raising the expertise of our teachers and school leaders. That is why professional development is so important. Crucially, this investment needs be implemented through proven, contextually informed strategies and prioritised in those places that need it most, and for those pupils who need it most. - Pepe Di'Isaio, Chair of the Who is Losing Learning Council and General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders

According to this article, private tuition is a mainstream option for middle-class families:

Tutoring should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford it privately. You can read more about this in our latest blog post:

Fifth of state pupils have private tutor at GCSE (and it’s not cheap)
Some have one helper per subject and there are even residential courses at £2,000 a week

According to @edupolicyinst.bsky.social's latest report, attending a school with a lower-attaining intake can make pupils fall even further behind.

Our work counters this by helping pupils in these schools improve their academic outcomes!

Why Ofsted isn’t serving disadvantaged children
The new scorecard and toolkits do a better job of recognising socioeconomic diversity, but there are still barriers to inclusion, argues Charlotte O’Regan
