Disadvantage can have a huge impact on a child’s life chances. Education data shows that underserved pupils start school behind their more advantaged peers, have lower attainment outcomes at school, and poorer opportunities for continued education once they have left school. This not only impacts their education but can also affect their mental health, confidence, self-esteem and self-worth. 

With this in mind, we are delighted to announce a new series of six twilight webinars. Led by Rachel Macfarlane, our lead advisor for underserved learners, we will be joined by guest leaders from across the county to explore various aspects of impactful inclusive practice for underserved learners.
