In this webinar, as well as relaying the latest views from key sector voices, we explore what we mean by ‘disadvantage’ and how governing boards can work with school leaders to develop a strategic and evidence-based approach to addressing disadvantage in their own settings. We also look at the importance of involving stakeholders in improving the learning experience for ‘disadvantaged’ pupils.

Head of Policy and Research
Fiona Fearon leads NGA’s policy and research work, ensuring that the value and voice of governance are central to policy-making and represented in national education policy discussions.
