“Cultural capital” - often misunderstood and misquoted but hugely significant for future life opportunities including what A Level subjects, which uni and which job.

There are substantial socio-economic differences in access to extra-curricular activities, and these gaps may have widened significantly as a result of the pandemic.
It's crucial that life skills play an important part in education recovery.

What is education activist @muzoonrakan1's message for today's students? "To feel lucky and to believe that education is the only way for them to achieve their goals in their lives"

Mind blown by Prof. Stephen Ball, ‘Disadvantaged pupils are 18.9 months behind their peers by the end of secondary school. It would take 50 years to close the attainment gap at this rate.’

Opening words from @russellhobby @TeachFirstNE It’s the people inside the system that make the difference. We must look after them. #teacher5aday #wellbeing #peoplepower

Looking at how pupils acquire word knowledge and some of the potential challenges of doing so. Made me think of @MaryMyatt ‘s session on the difference in the number of words pupils hear. #TBCtraining #phdchat #phdlife

@MaryMyatt refocuses us on #Oracy - disadvantaged pupils have 30 millions fewer words and how can we write about it if we can’t talk about it? #rEDBrum @researchED1
