Discussion: Unanswered questions and the national picture
Dept. for Education publishes Statistical first release Narrow focus on cohort ‘attainment gap’National Pupil Database- richer more complete dataCan follow up children once they have left care

Conclusions
LAC in Camden, nationally and internationally have poorer educational outcomes than their peers.
To enhance our understanding we need more detailed analysis.
Valuable data is collected but has not been analysed
