    • Butler Act 1944

      established tripartite system with students needing to pass the 11+ to access the best schools - left girls largely disadvantaged in education, pass mark on the 11+ higher for girls than boys
    • national curriculum introduction

      ensured all students had equal access to important subjects
      gave girls access to subjects they had not always had access to previously
    • GIST and WISE
      campaigns that give girls role models and encourage stem subjects
    • GCSE reform
      replacing coursework with exams
      disadvantaged girls, previously did better in coursework
      boys are still outperformed by females

      pupil premium
    • pupil premium 2011
      sum of money given to schools each year by the government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children
      eligibility: qualified FSM, previously looked after by local authority/state care, from service families
    • unlikely pupil premium is sufficient to make up for pandemic
      a lot of schools spend money to plug gaps in school funding, spending it on general school needs
      lack of school funding is the problem, pupil premium doesn't make up for this
      spent on learning assistants - not the most efficient way
