  • Tackling Educational Disadvantage (TED)


    Welcome to the new Tackling Educational Disadvantage (TED) Moodle support and resources. We are really excited to be launching the first phase of our guidance materials aimed at supporting schools in creating and implementing an effective pupil premium strategy and improving outcomes for all pupils vulnerable to underachievement.


    Please access the videos and resources for further information and get in touch with questions and ideas about how we can help.

    We appreciate that summarising principles is far easier than embedding them into practice so resources to follow include self-evaluation questions and practical examples of how schools have embedded these principles into practice.

      • Linked videos

        The following videos need to be contextualised and come with some trigger warnings.  

        Firstly, 'Don't call me Disadvantaged' provides a important message about the power of language and the impact of the term 'disadvantaged'.  Olivia Taylor describes some personal experiences from her childhood. This is not to suggest that these are the same experiences as others or that schools would respond in the way described.  The video provides some powerful messages on which to reflect.

        The second video, 'The Power of everyday heroes', reminds us of the small things teachers do everyday that make a difference to young people's lives and how educators can be heroes to many children and young people.  Please note that there are references to sexual abuse and traumatic events which some people may find upsetting. Please consider your own wellbeing and seek support if any of the content shared affects you in any way.

         Don't call me Disadvantaged

        A letter from the little girl who grew up. A speech by Olivia Taylor.

         The power of everyday heroes: Jaz Ampaw-Farr

        Jaz is passionate about the difference teachers make. Through celebration and provocation, she uses the transformative power of her own story to inspire the ordinary heroes of education - Teachers. Reading and writing were Jaz's tickets out of physical (and mindset) poverty. She became a primary teacher before setting up her own literacy consultancy then becoming an advisor, international speaker, coach and catalyst for change. Her book, Because Of You, reverse engineers her own success, pinpointing the crucial role teachers played. After cowriting and presenting the BBC spelling show, Hard Spell Abbey, Jaz also appeared as a candidate on The Apprentice.

          Primary Network: Primary Tackling Educational Disadvantage Network - Autumn 23-24 

          This network aims to support primary leaders in developing meaningful, research-informed strategies to tackle educational disadvantage and to securely embed these strategies into day-to-day practice. Sessions offer the chance to share best practice and impact, with leaders learning from wider schools’ successes to address identified areas of need. As the network groups become established, sessions will be adapted, focusing on bespoke areas identified by the group.

          Sessions will provide the opportunity to:

          • Access national and local updates.
          • Engage in discussion about strategy and implementation.
          • Explore research evidence and guidance materials and what these mean in practice.
          • Share strategies across schools, working together to explore strengths and next steps.
          • Experience bespoke training in response to identified needs.

          • Network with other school leaders to enable ideas, questions, and approaches to be shared across schools.

          Delegates should attend one session in the autumn and one in the spring.
