      <image:caption>In one of my previous roles as HLP coordinator, I placed students with verbal and/or average of the 4 test scores of 119+ on our HLP register. But I also looked at disadvantaged (and EAL) students with verbal/average scores of 113+ on the register, to allow for lower levels of vocab acquisition, if they performed well in the other tests.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Lumen Nexis - Closing the Gap</image:title>
      <image:caption>This page - from the Education Policy Institute website - is excellent. Move your mouse over the map or the chart and you can see the gaps in your own area. Having engaged with this resource for a number of years now, I can tell you that Westminster and Kensington most regularly have the smallest gaps, and that Blackpool and Knowsley in the north west have the highest. If you look at the areas highlighted in various shades of green on the map, you’ll also note that all inner-London areas have small gaps (using GCSE data). In the EPI’s annual report for 2024, they note: “Looking across all phases of education, London continues to outperform the rest of the country for its disadvantaged students in 2023. The disadvantage gap in London has increased since 2019 among children in early years and primary school and flat-lined or decreased among older students (secondary school and 16-19 education). The West Midlands ranks as the region with the second smallest disadvantage gap in 2023 in three out of four key stages. The West Midlands was also one of the regions least affected in the wake of the pandemic across all four phases.”</image:caption>
