VIRTUAL EVENT: LondonEd 2021
This year’s virtual conference takes the overarching theme of tackling inequalities in the education system.

London schools have a strong record of success in tackling disadvantage and inequality, but there is always more to do, especially in this extraordinary year.
LondonEd 2021 invites academics and practitioners to come together to explore the evidence and share innovative yet practical strategies to support all students to excel.
This conference is a collaborative project led by the three London EEF Research Schools: Rathfern Primary, a Chartered College Hub, and UCL Institute of Education's Research and Development Network.
