Closing the attainment gap for boys at secondary school.

This webinar (30/11/23) was organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Issues Affecting Men and Boys.
During our inquiry into Boys’ Educational Underachievement, we contacted four schools who had succeeded in closing the gap. We found that they were largely doing the same things.
This webinar is given by senior leaders of these four schools. They show that the gap can be closed without any extra resources or special skills.
