The A-Z of Addressing Disadvantage is a teacher handbook offering practical suggestions and ideas for addressing disadvantage in schools, organised around the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

The genesis for this book, and the strategy within it, is a longstanding commitment from Essex County Council to improve the life chances and life choices of disadvantaged pupils being educated in Essex. The purpose of the book is to set out a strategic, evidence-informed approach with pupils, families, teachers, leaders, system leaders and wider agencies which puts learners first. This approach is rooted in best practice. It centres on improving the day to day learning experiences of disadvantaged pupils, leading to better long term choice and opportunity. Unity Research School and Essex County Council hope it will support efforts to address the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on learning in schools and colleges nationally.

A collection of chapters by leading educators, exploring practical and insightful advice on how schools can ensure that the needs of vulnerable pupils are met, by ignoring the labels that can often damage and limit progress.

Fully updated with the 2015 policy updates from the Department for Education and published in partnership with the National Education Trust, this book provides essential information and advice to help schools make best use of the Pupil Premium grant and improve outcomes for disadvantaged learners.
