He has also undertaken and led national evaluations including the evaluation of the ‘Extra Mile’ programme, an intervention designed to close the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged children in England and has worked for over two decades to develop innovative approaches to closing the achievement gap and evaluating their impact.
