This is reflected in exam performance for disadvantaged pupils: in , The region also had the smallest gap in performance between pupils receiving free school meals and those who do not. This indicates that the London divide on education is not an issue of class alone, it is an issue of provision.
Even the most disadvantaged London students have opportunities that similarly disadvantaged pupils in Northern England and Wales lack. In the late s in stark contrast to their present success London state schools were viewed as in crisis. The London Challenge initiative was credited by Ofsted in as a major factor in the perception and performance of schools in the capital from onwards. Similar schemes ran in Greater Manchester and the Black Country as City Challenges, but success was limited partly as the programs ended within 3 years of initiation.
Overall, the London Challenge exemplifies the sustained and ambitious approaches needed to improve the UK education system, but also reiterates the reality that few areas have the resources to undertake such projects. So, what can be done to lessen the London divide in Oxford? However, the rest of the UK deserves similar attention to London, especially the under-represented Northern regions.
