We surveyed Y6 pupils to find out how they felt about school and maths before coming to secondary school, and found four disadvantage gaps that I wasn't expecting to see.

New blog: The disadvantage gap in Y6 pupils' experience of maths.
We asked Y6s about school and maths this summer, and found big disadvantage gaps in their experience of problem-solving, maths anxiety, and whether school makes them a better person.
