Educational inequalities aren't just between poor and the rest. Every step up the income distribution is associated with better educational outcomes. Even when poorer pupils meet benchmark levels of attainment (eg 5 "good" GCSEs) they very rarely do really well (A or A* grades)

A huge topic, and hard to distil even into a 100-page report! Our guiding principles include looking at the whole system, following up early intervention, looking beyond test scores, and recognising that educational inequalities reflect wider inequalities in society.

This by Sam Freedman is sensitive and smart and absolutely worth reading (if you can - paywall). But I think it's let down a little by the headline - schools already do a lot to reduce inequalities. (COVID home learning gave us a taste of how much more unequal things could be.) (1/3)
