Conclusion
The Department for Education must make itself central to levelling-up, and ensure that a focus on improving outcomes for children of all ages is a key part of any Government initiative to equalise opportunity and productivity across the country. Publishing all data on attainment measures on as localised a basis as possible, including by 58 The forgotten: how White working-class pupils have been let down, and how to change it neighbourhood, will be the beginning of demonstrating a commitment to levelling-up education by identifying specific communities that are struggling. The Department must co-ordinate its efforts with wider Government in a comprehensive strategy to tackle the root causes of underachievement.

Many of our attainment measures are broken down by region, local authority and local authority district and parliamentary constituency in the National Statistics. Institution level data is also available on the Compare School and College Performance website for Key stages 2 to 5, except for 2020 and 2021 due to the assurances given to schools about accountability for results achieved during these years affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We will commit to investigating where further regional breakdowns can feasibly be added and endeavour to publish as much detail as possible. This will require discussions to understand the user needs.
