At Silverstone, we brought together young people, partners & F1 teams to build a sport where every idea, talent, and background can thrive.

Disadvantaged white pupils have ‘particularly poor’ education outcomes, review says The Education Secretary said it was a “national disgrace” that so many white working-class children are being “written off”

Far too many disadvantaged young people, including white working-class pupils, are failed by our education system.

At Mission 44, we believe no child should be written off because of their background – we must listen, invest, and commit to long-term change.

Record gap in A-level top grades between London and north-east England The gap between the two regions for entries getting the highest grades is 9.2 percentage points, up from 7.4 points last year.

Talent is spread evenly across the country, but opportunity is not. Today’s A-level results highlight deep inequalities.

We need an inclusive education system that removes barriers and unlocks potential so talent everywhere can thrive.
