Our approach
Addressing the disadvantage gap in UK education requires a holistic approach to dismantle barriers to education, both within and outside of school.
Collectively, the organizations we are partnering with support and deliver interventions working across all stages of a child’s education journey, from cradle to career.
Our UK Education Collective Portfolio has three core areas of focus:
- Early Childhood Care and Development
- Foundational Skills (literacy and numeracy)
- Transitions between educational stages and beyond into employment
We also look to address a number of cross-cutting themes: mental health and well-being, developing ‘essential’ skills and building a fairer and more inclusive education system.
And we know that place matters. Sustainable change requires social impact organizations to contextualize their work, working in partnership with and learning from the communities they are looking to support. Place also matters to philanthropists who often have deep connections to the communities of which they are a part.
