Social Mobility and the Pupil Premium: Tackling the Attainment Gap

Social Mobility and the Pupil Premium

The Social Mobility Commission’s poll for 2019 underlines increasing the entrenchment of class privilege and stark regional differences in the children’s educational prospects. The Social Mobility Barometer published on the 21st of January 2020 also highlights the necessity to make greater efforts to tackle the attainment gap starting in the earliest stages of life through all levels of education. Despite the headline initiatives from central and local government, such as the Pupil Premium, social mobility in the UK is virtually stagnant.

Join us on Wednesday 16th September to examine what steps you can take to narrow the attainment gap and learn how you can inspire an ethos of achievement for all in your school. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn about the latest update from the Social Mobility Commission and the Department of Education. Gain insights from sector leaders and their award-winning case studies and find out what is working – and what should be improved.

Key issues to be addressed:

Proven methodologies: sharing case studies from schools and the Local Authorities
