Report Card 2025: Case Studies
Fair Education in 2025: England’s Report Card sets out four key priorities for change.
Want to see what they look like in real life? Here are four examples of where those priorities are already making a difference - through schools, partnerships, and training initiatives across the country.
These stories are more than case studies—they're real-world proof that the priorities laid out in the Report Card can drive change. They show how, with commitment and collaboration, educational inequity can be tackled effectively, whether through aligned systems, workforce strengthening, skills development, or inclusive cultures.
