Our vision is to be a part of an
education system that provides
excellence, equity and opportunity
to every child and young person in
the UK; we want all pupils to receive
the support they need to overcome
any obstacles they face in achieving
their full potential.
In the North of England, the average
regional attainment gap at the end of
Key Stage 4 is 21.5 months. In London
it’s 10.4 months1.
There’s no route to regional equality
in the UK that doesn’t involve tackling
this attainment gap. We know that one
of the big drivers of that equality is
access to tuition.
Based on our gold standard evidence2 ,
if we could provide tuition sessions
as a core part of the education system
to every pupil from a lower income
background, we could eliminate the
attainment gap.
