Linking London in partnership with UCL have launched an updated Educational Deprivation Dashboard for London. 

Our newly updated Dashboard, funded by UCL in collaboration with Linking London and originally launched in Autumn 2021, provides a unique overview of educational deprivation in London.

The Dashboard, developed by Karina Berzins and Aga Spytkowska, brings together key metrics including POLAR 4 TUNDRA and IMD alongside Key Stage 4 & 5 attainment, ethnicity and gender across London schools and colleges. The latest version also includes the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) metric and a fully updated Further Education section of the dashboard to include achievement, completion and retention data at all levels of study. 

The online training session, led by Karina Berzins, aimed at education providers, including those working in widening participation and outreach, researchers, evaluators and policy makers, as well as anyone with an interest in understanding educational disadvantage in London. The session provides a detailed overview of the Dashboard and how to make the most of the data available and Q+A.
