Opportunity for All: Strong Schools With Great Teachers for Your Child

Any child who falls behind in maths or English will get the support they need to get back on track, pledges Education Secretary.

This DfE white paper sets out the Government’s long-term vision for a school system that helps every child to fulfil their potential by ensuring that they receive the right support, in the right place, at the right time. The economic benefits of meeting the white paper’s ambitions, and the case for a fully trust led system, are also set out.

As part of a pledge the Education Secretary will make to every parent in the country, any child who falls behind in maths or English will get the support they need to get back on track.

Schools will identify children who need help, provide targeted support via a range of proven methods such as small group tuition, and keep parents informed about their child’s progress.

The Parent Pledge will support the government’s Levelling Up mission for education, previously set out in the Levelling Up White Paper, for 90% of primary school children to achieve the expected standard in Key Stage 2 reading, writing and maths by 2030.

A second ambition for secondary schools aims to see the national average GCSE grade in both English language and maths increase from 4.5 in 2019 to 5 by 2030.
