The pandemic has “severely widened existing inequalities” between poorer pupils and their better-off peers, a report on the impact of Covid has found.
The COVID Social Mobility & Opportunities (COSMO) study surveyed more than 13,000 pupils across England who were in Year 11 in 2021 and have now just entered Year 13.
The study was led by the UCL Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities, the UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies and the Sutton Trust.
