Inquiry finds failures for white working-class children in England's schools

An independent inquiry has found that white working-class children in England are significantly underperforming in education, with only 36% achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths GCSEs in 2025, compared to 72% of better-off peers. The report concludes the education system is not adequately serving this demographic and calls for wide-ranging reforms, including enhanced early-years support, improved attendance, expanded apprenticeships, and additional social and family support beyond schools. The Department for Education acknowledges the issue and emphasizes that tackling these disparities requires comprehensive, cross-sector efforts.
