In a new report, the Education Policy Institute (EPI), commissioned by KPMG, explores how successfully early years providers, schools and further education settings are able to support young people and close the attainment gap between the most disadvantaged and the rest inthe local authority of Rochdale.
The report sets out the current position of the disadvantage gap across multiple phases of education in Rochdale, and how this has changed over the past decade to 2020. The report positions Rochdale’s disadvantage gap alongside the national average for England, as well as the wider Greater Manchester region (where Rochdale is located), to provide more context on how well Rochdale enables disadvantaged children to achieve.
