Disadvantaged students are 'three grades behind' richer peers, report suggests

RESULTS: Students from disadvantaged backgrounds are behind, the report suggests DISADVANTAGED sixth form and college students are around three A-level grades behind their more affluent peers - and worse in one area of Somerset - a new report suggests. The attainment gap is largely explained by poorer students already having lower grades at the end of their GCSEs, according to an exploratory analysis by the Education Policy Institute (EPI) think tank. Disadvantaged students fall even further behind through sixth form and college, leaving them around half an A-level grade behind better-off peers with the same GCSE results, the report suggests.
