What is the Fair Education Summit?
Our Fair Education Summit is the single biggest gathering of leaders working to make education fairer in England. This year, the Fair Education Summit took place just days after the General Election. There’s never been a better time to gather, discuss how we can drive system change, and highlight our Fair Education Priorities for the new Government.

Brick by Brick - Spoken Word by Angel
Through her poem “Brick by Brick”, Angel shared with us the challenges she and many others across England face in our current education system.
