The review carried out by PwC, examined 25 schools supported by the Achievement for All Achieving Schools programme, between 2011 and 2015. The results indicated that pupils with special educational needs (SEN), those eligible for Pupil Premium funding, and low attainers, consistently made progress at a higher rate than expected for their year groups.
One school reported that it had moved out of the bottom cohort in the country for maths into the top 25 per cent.
