Moving forwards, making a difference

It is clear, both from the research and in talking to teachers and school leaders, that pupils continue to feel the effects of the partial school closures. Although national lockdowns seem to be behind us, for many schools, and in many classrooms, the full picture of how pupils and schools have really been affected is only now becoming clear.

Today, the EEF has released a brand-new evidence review which paints a clear picture of where pupils have fallen behind. In order to give school leaders guidance on what the evidence suggests schools can do in response to this challenge, in 2022 – 23 and beyond, a guide to support schools in moving forwards and making a positive difference to pupil outcomes has been released alongside.
