The materials in this guidance are intended to help schools respond to the above factors and to take urgent action to shift Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils from the periphery of the education system to the very centre.

This booklet on leadership and management explores the key role played by the school’s leadership team in raising the achievement of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils in schools. It is essential that the headteacher takes the lead in this work, while ensuring that all staff, especially those with responsibility for English, mathematics and inclusion, are actively involved in closing the achievement gap for these, the most underachieving groups of pupils.

This booklet explores some of the main learning and teaching principles intended to close the attainment gap for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils.
