What's one school practice you've changed because you realised it wasn't equitable? Maybe it was homework. Assessment. Attendance. Behaviour. Transition. Or something completely different. We'd love to hear what you've learned. 👇 Share your experience. #EducationalEquity

When a small grant creates a bigger opportunity… The Achieve Equity Foundation supports schools to develop innovative projects designed to improve outcomes and opportunities for disadvantaged learners. One example is Higham Lane School's literacy project ... 1/3

What does “Thinking Differently” actually mean? For us, it's about looking beyond the obvious. It's about understanding disadvantage. Maintaining high expectations. Considering equity in everyday school life. 1/2

School is about so much more than what happens in the classroom. From trips and celebrations to uniforms, food and fundraising, the cost of taking part can create barriers for some pupils. 1/2

Through their eyes 👀 “We don't understand why they don't engage with homework.” But what might the pupil experience look like? No quiet space. Limited access to technology. Caring responsibilities. A lack of confidence. Worry about getting it wrong. 1/2

The evidence is clear: context matters. When we're supporting disadvantaged learners, knowing their attainment data is important. But it isn't the whole picture. What do we know about their experiences? Their strengths? Their aspirations? Their attendance? 1/2

RADY isn't about another initiative. It's about changing the way a school thinks about disadvantage. The aim is for equitable thinking to become embedded in school culture and everyday practice — rather than something that sits separately from school improvement. 1/2

One question for school leaders… If your Pupil Premium strategy disappeared tomorrow… what would actually change in classrooms? And perhaps more importantly: What wouldn't? A strategy only makes a difference when it influences what happens for pupils every day. #PupilPremium

A five-minute challenge for schools. Pick one school policy. Homework. Behaviour. Attendance. Assessment. Now ask: Would this work equally well for every pupil? If not, what might an equitable approach look like? Sometimes small questions can lead to much bigger conversations. #ThinkingDifferently

Equality or equity? Equality means everyone receives the same. Equity recognises that different pupils may need different support or opportunities to achieve the same outcome. But there's an important third part of the conversation: High expectations. 1/2

Challenging Education @challenging-edu.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Are we asking the right question? When a disadvantaged pupil isn't achieving as expected, it's easy to ask: “Why aren't they achieving?” But what if we asked: “What might we need to understand or change to help this pupil succeed?” 1/2

Talent is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not. If we're serious about improving outcomes for disadvantaged learners, we must look beyond quick fixes and focus on the conditions that enable every young person to thrive. Equity isn't lowering the bar. It's removing the barriers.
