Pupil deprivation - May 2014
The purpose of this report is to summarise the main messages from Estyn reports on tackling poverty and disadvantage in schools. Between 2007 and 2009, Estyn published three reports that evaluated the way schools were using RAISE funding. This was followed in 2010 with a report that identified examples of effective practice and made suggestions about further action that might be taken to improve the performance of disadvantaged learners. Since 2011, Estyn has produced a series of three related reports on the topic, with the latest being published in December 2013. These later three reports contained many case studies that can provide schools with useful information about successful practices.
