3/ This is heartbreaking. Young people should not be victims of geography. They should have the same opportinity wherever in the UK they are born. Even just looking at the dispartiy in wages. A young FSM individual in the North East takes home £5000 less than their non-FSM counterparts.

4/ And then there is Attainment 8. The difference between regions in the UK and London is staggering. What gets me the most is that outside London, they are all fairly similar - showing how widespread the issue actually is!

Thanks very much for the summary. Our intake straddles the areas ranked 533rd and 543rd on the list. We have about 40% disadvantage (up from 35% in main school) in our 400 student VI Form (vocational subjects about 70% disadvantage). The report really brings home the moral imperative of our work.
