- Material deprivation
- Ridge- poor pupils are more likely to take on jobs- distracting schoolwork
- National Audit Office- w/c children spend 2x as much time in paid work
- 2006: 61% of pupils got 5 A*-C's; only 33% of those getting free school meals
- Jan Flaherty- money problems are significant in nonattendance
- Marilyn Howard- poorer homes- lower nutrition, energy and immunity= more absences by illness and difficulty concentrating
- About 90% of failing schools are in deprived areas
- Many w/c leave school at 16, few go to university (fear of debt) or have a high drop-our rate
- Poor children without equipment may miss beneficial experiences, or rely on cheaper but unfashionable equipment or hand me downs, resulting in the child being bullied or stigmatised
- Flaherty- 20% eligible for free school meals do not take them from fear of stigmatisation
- David Bull- there are costs of free schooling. Emily Tanner et al.- the cost of transport, books, uniforms, computers, calculators etc. are a burden on poor families
- Wilkinson- among 10 year olds, the lower the social class, the higher the chance of hyperactivity, anxiety and disorders
- Poor children are more likely to be truants or excluded
- Poor housing effects:
- Greater risk of accidents
- Temporary accommodation/ frequently changing schools
- Cold/damp housing- I'll health, e.g. respiratory illness
- Development impaired- lack of space for safe play/ exploration
- Temporary accommodation- more likely psychological distress, infection and accidents
- Overcrowding- hard to study
- MORE ABSENCES FROM SCHOOL
- Peter Mortimore and Geoff Whitty- material deprivation has the greatest effect. Peter Robinson- best way to tackle underachievement is fight poverty
