Click here to read Government reports on how different schools support the performance of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Alongside the main research report is a briefing for school leaders and a single-page summary of factors that lead to successful outcomes.

The following resources will also be made available to our trainees during professional studies sessions (please scroll to the bottom of the page to find the following as attachments):

• Toolkit to improve learning (The Sutton Trust) - note how important 'effective feedback' is here.
• Example strategies to close achievement gaps
• NFER research findings: 'How are more effective schools supporting disadvantaged pupils'.
