We are delighted to be a supporter of the Fair Education Alliance, a coalition for change in education comprising of the UK’s leading organisations. The aim is to work towards ending the persistent achievement gap between young people from our poorest communities and their wealthier peers. Committed to this common goal, the Alliance will both work collectively to find solutions to address educational inequality, as well as annually monitor the progress made to narrow the gap.
