Article summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced that £200m in funding will be put towards increasing access to English and maths schemes in schools over the next three academic years, with £137m being allocated to continue funding the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and £66m for the next phase of the Accelerator Fund. The DfE has said the aim of this is to address the ‘disadvantage gap’ and that areas with high proportions of children from disadvantaged backgrounds will continue to be prioritised for the schemes ‘to help level up attainment’.
