The Department for Education has announced that funding for 'Opportunity areas' will be extended until August 2021; it was originally intended to finish next year
'Opportunity areas' were established in 2017 in twelve parts of the country - including Blackpool, Derby, the North Yorkshire Coast, Bradford and Doncaster - where it was felt that there were significant barriers to social mobility
The funding is used to support a range of activities such as additional mathematics classes for disadvantaged pupils in Year 11
