Important work by @EduPolicyInst out today on educational attainment gaps.

🚨 Persistently disadvantaged pupils are around *1 year* behind their peers by the end of primary school - by age 16 it's around *2 years*.

Reducing hardship is essential for improving education.

A great partnership with @ScreenEdinburgh encouraging more of our pupils to tell their own stories through filmmaking 🎥 👏 @ArtsAward

[Screen Education Edinburgh @ScreenEdinburgh]

🎉Through The Lens Wester Hailes High School learners have finished their micro short films and their Arts Award Explore qualification!

We think the most important outcome of the course is the realisation that filmmaking is FUN, and that anyone can tell stories and make films.

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

63% of teachers in the most deprived areas said pupils were showing up to class too hungry to learn, according to new research by @sfmtweet.

We are calling for Free School Meal access to be widened to cover all families on Universal Credit.

@CatherineECarr @BBCRadio4 @guardian @WhistledownProd Really interesting series and so much better to hear the voices of teens directly. Recommended to school colleagues at inset today @WHHS_Edin

[Rebecca Myers @rebeccacmyers]

This is such a thought-provoking piece by @CatherineECarr, who travelled the UK interviewing teenage boys about what it’s like to be a boy today. She wrote about what she learnt for @ObserverUK
Some quotes are heartbreaking, but others really gave me hope
