We need a Pupil Premium Plus, a specific pot of funding for disadvantaged pupils in education or training, aged 16-19. This is one of the main calls in our Learn Without Limits campaign.
It goes without saying that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on apprenticeships. While the pandemic did not create inequalities, it has certainly exacerbated them.

Since its introduction in 2010, the pupil premium has helped sharpen the focus on improving outcomes for the most disadvantaged pupils.
