Research School Network: Watch our Summer webinars on Supporting disadvantaged pupils This term, we were delighted to be joined by hundreds of attendees at our Summer Series on Supporting disadvantaged pupils.

The series of three sessions shared a wealth of relevant and insightful information for Senior Leaders and Pupil Premium Leads in particular to understand the challenge of disadvantage and how best to organise a response.

These webinars are now available to watch by clicking the Session links below:

- In Session 1 (9 May), Emily Hunt, lead author of the Education Policy Institute’s report on Covid-19 and disadvantage gaps in England 2020, shared key findings and insights.

- Session 2 (23 May) covered ​‘There is no such thing as a Pupil Premium intervention’ with Caroline Spalding and Chloe Woodhouse. The speakers shared some of the lessons learned from leading the Pupil Premium in a school in an area of high deprivation – including better bets and worked examples.

- In Session 3 (13 June), Phil Stock talked through 10 tips on improving your Pupil Premium strategy; this included myth-busting and focusing on the most significant challenges that are in your control.

We hope you find these sessions useful.
