Addressing Educational Disadvantage in Schools and Colleges: The Essex Way
£13.30
The genesis for this book, and the strategy within it, is a longstanding commitment from Essex County Council to improve the life chances and life choices of disadvantaged pupils being educated in Essex.
The purpose of the book is to set out a strategic, evidence-informed approach with pupils, families, teachers, leaders, system leaders and wider agencies which puts learners first.
This approach is rooted in best practice. It centres on improving the day to day learning experiences of disadvantaged pupils, leading to better long term choice and opportunity.
Unity Schools Partnership and Essex County Council hope it will support efforts to address the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on learning in schools and colleges nationally.
‘Few national challenges deserve greater priority than closing the disadvantage gap in education. This book provides carefully considered, practical and impactful advice for schools’ – David Laws, Schools Minister 2012-2015

Brilliantly accessible advice for all those working in schools.

Whilst I did purchase this as used, this front cover is upsetting as I would not describe this as very good condition.

Great for anyone who wants to know how to take the principles of tackling disadvantage and really go out and apply them to the real world of busy schools. It’s about a lived example (Essex), but through this it offers so much to learn from, adapt and make practical use of. Definitely recommend!
