Objectives

The Difference exists to improve the life-outcomes of the most vulnerable children by raising the status and expertise of those who educate them.

 

The Difference was born from a year’s research into school exclusion and the teaching workforce.  The research was published in October 2017 by think tank IPPR, with a preface by Edward Timpson OBE, the former Children’s Minister. 

Activities

Through its programmes, research and partnerships, The Difference learns what works to improve outcomes for vulnerable children, and shares this best practice across its network and the sector.

  • The Inclusive Leadership Course supports mainstream schools to establish inclusive expertise, reduce exclusions, and enhance purposeful learning environments that prepare learners for their next stage of education.
  • The Difference Leadership Programme is a two-year programme that supports aspiring senior leaders to develop their skills and expertise.
