A sustained improvement in education standards is one of our top priorities as a government. I recently announced an additional £1.1 million to be spent this year, and an additional £10 million for literacy and numeracy in the draft budget for 2025/26 which will include interventions to support struggling learners. Part of this funding will also be used to ensure we have the best possible insights to understand attainment and progression.
