Barnet Council conference on educational outcomes for Black pupils
Barnet Council planned a July 2026 conference to address the educational attainment gap for Black pupils.

This initiative followed council research which identified a persistent attainment gap for Black Caribbean and mixed White and Black Caribbean pupils, evident from early years.
The council's investigation found that while overall attainment for disadvantaged pupils in Barnet was improving and surpassed the national average, this specific disparity remained. The conference was intended to address these findings and work towards closing the identified educational gap.
