The Education Endowment Fund - The impact of the lockdown on learning for the most disadvantaged pupils

All Phases - Senior leaders/Heads of Department/SENDCOs

The Education Endowment Fund has published evidence about the impact of the lockdown on learning for the most disadvantaged pupils. 

Key findings and implications include:

  • School closures are likely to reverse progress made to close the gap in the last decade since 2011.
  • Supporting effective remote learning will mitigate the extent to which the gap widens.
  • Sustained support will be needed to help disadvantaged pupils catch up.
