Disadvantaged CYP

Supporting the inclusion of disadvantaged children and young people (CYP).

Outcomes for disadvantaged pupils across the country, and in West Sussex, remain significantly below their peers. Our Children and Young People’s Plan 2022-2025 and the Education and Skills Strategy 2023-2025 both show our commitment to improving the life chances of vulnerable children and young people in West Sussex.

It is more important than ever that we put our disadvantaged pupils at the forefront of every aspect of our work.

The Standards and Effectiveness team are here to support schools and other settings seeking to narrow the achievement gap for their disadvantaged children. Visit the Disadvantaged Children and Young People web page on Services for Education for more information.
