A Genuine Understanding Share on:

Do we really understand what low family income does to a child’s day-to-day experience of school? As Marc Rowland reminds us, “key to addressing disadvantage is genuinely understanding low family income and how it impacts on young people.” Pupils are not a problem to be solved, they’re our children.

And we're off! What a beautiful day to welcome our new cohort of Early Career Teachers. Education in Cornwall has a bright future.
