New CSJ analysis in our latest report, Unequal Returns, show that despite despite tens of billions invested in Pupil Premium (PP), outcomes for disadvantaged pupils remain deeply uneven. Some schools are seeing their attainment gap widen. Our report argues that the PP funding model must evolve into a smarter, more precise system – one that better reflects the realities of modern disadvantage and delivers real impact for the children it was created to help. To discuss its findings and the future of PP, we will be joined by:

  • Sir Trevor Phillips OBE, broadcaster and former EHRC Chair
  • Sir Kevan Collins, lead non-executive board member at the Department for Education
  • Professor Lee Elliot Major OBE, UK's first Social Mobility Professor and co-creator of the Pupil Premium Toolkit
  • Emma Bonnin, Headteacher of Pakeman Primary School.
  • Mercy Muroki, Centre for Social Justice

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
