🚨 NEW: There is a ‘happiness gap’ between people born into different social classes, we have found.

Our research with @coopukcampaigns finds that wellbeing remains closely tied to the social status you’re born into, but social mobility helps to close most of this gap ⬇️🧵

We’re at @royalsociety today for our joint Higher Education Summit with @CarnegieCorp, focusing on our latest research into HE and social mobility!

🚨 NEW: Children from low-income homes are more likely to have special educational needs and are also less likely to get the support they need, we have found.

Our new research reveals massive socio-economic inequalities in accessing support from a SEND system in crisis 🧵⤵️

🆕 Journalist and broadcaster @lewis_goodall will also be joining our panel this afternoon.

Come and join us to talk about elitism in Britain at 3:15PM!

[Nick Harrison @NickHarrison73]

Cricket is the most elitist sport in Britain, with 50-60% of top players having attended private school (vs 7% of the population). Football is broadly representative. Olympians in the middle with "only" 20-30% private school background.
Interestingly, Rugby is very split men (elitist) vs. women (representative).

Latest @suttontrust report, Elitist Britain.

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

🚨 NEW: Britain’s most powerful people are still 5x more likely to have been privately educated than the general population.

Our brand-new research reveals that jobs in the media, business, charity, creative and public sectors remain dominated by those from private schools ⤵️🧵

How much would it cost to widen access to free school meals?

Our research has shown that more pupils are coming into school on an empty stomach 👎

@beckymontacute discusses how much it could cost to expand FSM eligibility to cover all families who receive universal credit ⬇️

[The Sutton Trust @suttontrust]

In our latest polling, 88% of senior leaders said that the pupil premium is less than they need to fully support disadvantaged pupils.

Despite this, leaders are increasingly having to use pupil premium funding to plug gaps in their budgets 💰

Urgent action is needed 👇

@kerrylynnedoyle @macmillancancer Wow Kerry-Lynne I'm sure you'll be so missed! Look forward to seeing what you do next - do stay in touch as I'm on the look out too!

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

Very proud to see this fantastic programme launching today - never more needed. 👇
Huge congratulations to the fabulous project team at @AmbitiousAutism

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

Good to see this @guardianopinion piece pulling no punches about the failings in the #SEND system -'children don't deserve this chaos'.

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

We're looking for someone brilliant to lead our policy and campaigns at @AmbitiousAutism - closing this weekend so get in quick!

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

We have a really exciting opportunity for a senior policy and campaigns manager to join the team at Ambitious about Autism. Please do share with anyone you think might be interested! #charityjobs #policyjobs #SEND #Autism https://t.co/VVvgz8BK1T

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

The debates about children absent from school are still missing the crucial points about why some children feel unable to attend, and what could be done to address that. Improving #SEND support is a vital part of the picture.

"To state the blindingly obvious, this is not about pushy mums and dads: it is a story about systemic failure, and its sheer expense."

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

The Ofsted inspection at my son’s school was a truly horrible experience for the whole school. The inspector was rude and dismissive and the approach totally non sensical. Glad to see these stories are being shared, definitely time for change. https://t.co/gSaFyOrNQ8

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

@PR_Suze @WunThompson This looks amazing Suzi huge congratulations! I’m sure it will make a huge impact.

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

So pleased this is being discussed in parliament today. If all education staff had training on autism it would make such a huge difference.

[Tracey Tynan @traceyanntynan]

@laurahutch86 @HRP_palaces @TowerOfLondon Best appointment ever! Hope you’re well x
