Our schools research explores how and why educational inequalities widen through the school years.
Education policy is a key policy lever to improving opportunities.
Our schools research explores how the education system can be improved to reduce barriers to opportunities. We aim to create a fairer system for all children, where achievement is based on skills rather than family circumstances.
In particular, evidence suggests a vital role for access to good teachers in the school system. We seek to understand how to attract, retain, and develop the most talented school teachers.
