Yasmin Omar, Tarjinder Gill and Lucy Trimnell discuss the latest report highlighting the under performance of white disadvantaged students in exams.
Parts of the country where disadvantaged pupils perform worse at school are more likely to have large populations of poor white children, a new report suggests.

An analysis by the IfG looks at the “high impact” group of pupils - those for whom disadvantage disproportionately affects their performance - which it says is made up mostly of white British pupils.
