🔎 Almost a third of private school bursaries and scholarships go to the wealthiest families, a new study by @UCL has found.

It reveals that around 30% go to high-income households, 18% to middle-income households, and just 17% to lower-income households ⤵️

Take it as the East End equivalent of those Johnson / Cameron era Old Etonians explaining what Pop was like.

A one-pager with bits that I want students to remember for the GCSE English Literature exams. It’s obviously stuff that needs to be expanded upon, but it should hopefully be useful as the basis for a final lesson or two before it all begins https://t.co/x22osoukof 🖊️
