Bring it on
Today at 9.48am I started work (officially) for Teach First.
In 2008, one in five 11-year-olds did not reach the expected level in their English tests.
Pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals (the key indicator of poverty in schools) have roughly half the chance of getting 5 A*-C GCSE than those not eligible for Free School Meals.
In 2007, all 19-year-old pupils with professional parents were twice as likely to be in further education, higher education or training, than their peers’ parents who were unemployed or working in routine occupations. (DCSF, 2008)
That's not OK, and we're not packing up until we've fixed it. Right now, over 600 outstanding graduates are up at the University of Warwick, learning to become the newest cohort of excellent teachers and leaders who will help us address this problem. It's great to be back here full-time. :)
