Want to use the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) dataset in your research?
Two CEPEO–ADR UK trainings this spring:
💻 Online Intro to LEO — 23–24 Mar 2026
🧑💻 Practical LEO workshop using R (London) — 20 Apr 2026
Learn how to access, build, and analyse linked education–earnings data.
A-Levels: econpapers.repec.org/paper/uclcep...
Mismatch: econpapers.repec.org/paper/uclcep...
5️⃣ Post-16 transitions
The target: 2/3 of young people in higher-level learning by age 25 🎓
Our research shows that disadvantaged students are less likely to take university-aligned courses and are more likely to be mismatched to their choice of university.
4️⃣ Teacher recruitment & retention
Plans to recruit 6,500 teachers are reaffirmed, plus improved maternity pay 👩🏫
We break down the challenges and feasibility of hitting this recruitment target, and what it means for addressing teacher shortages across England: blogs.ucl.ac.uk/cepeo/2024/0...
3️⃣ Early years & holistic support
Reforms emphasise earlier identification and coordination across education and health.
Our research with IFS is cited, showing how early support can improve outcomes.

2️⃣ SEND reforms
The White Paper proposes major SEND reforms, with more funding for inclusive practice and specialists.
Our work estimates future SEND demand using early child development, health, and background indicators to help identify needs sooner.

1️⃣ Tackling the disadvantage gap
The government aims to halve the disadvantage gap and use income data, not FSM eligibility, to target Pupil Premium funding.
We highlight why moving beyond blunt thresholds matters for targeting support and improving outcomes: econpapers.repec.org/paper/uclcep...
The long-awaited Schools White Paper, “Every child achieving and thriving,” arrived yesterday with lots to digest.
At the UCL Centre for Education Policy & Equalising Opportunities, we study how policy can reduce inequality and improve life chances.
