Rich-poor education gap grows for 16-year-olds in almost all of England

Rich-poor education gap grows for 16-year-olds in almost all of England

16 July 2024  

First post-pandemic study of attainment gap finds pupils from low-income families have fallen further behind richer peers except in London

The attainment gap between 16-year-olds from low-income families and their wealthier classmates has grown across all regions of England since before the pandemic with the exception of London, research has found.

Disadvantaged pupils are now more than 19 months behind their peers by the time they sit their GCSEs, with the gap having increased at every stage of their schooling aged five, 11 and 16, according to the Education Policy Institute (EPI) thinktank.

The report compared the educational attainment of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils between 2019 and 2023. It found that disadvantaged pupils in London continued to have higher attainment than anywhere else in England.

Across England, those described as persistently disadvantaged - pupils eligible for free school meals for at least 80% of their time in school - are even further behind their wealthier peers with a gap of two years by the age 16.
