皇冠体育app Deputy PM commented on a new report by Ofsted showing that the pupil premium is helping disadvantaged children.
Ofsted have published a today (16 July 2014) showing that the pupil premium - money to help state schools in England support disadvantaged pupils - is starting to make a positive difference in many schools.
皇冠体育app Deputy Prime Minister said:
I鈥檝e been fighting in government for a fairer society where all our children have opportunities to succeed in life. This report shows that, through the pupil premium, we鈥檙e starting to win that fight.
皇冠体育app pupil premium has been one of the most significant changes in our education system for a long time and is already closing the attainment gap by helping up to 2 million disadvantaged children get the support, education and skills they need to get on in life - whether it鈥檚 through literacy classes, catch up lessons or one-to-one tuition.
This is just the start. From 2015 I want to see this help extended to disadvantaged 3 and 4-year-olds too. This is all extra help for families across Britain to ensure that we live in a society where it is your talents and efforts alone, not your background that determines how successful you become.
