ASCL welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this inquiry. We have structured our responses around the headings in the “Call for evidence”.

In addition to the responses, we would urge the inquiry to consider ASCL’s published works on The Forgotten Third and its recent Blueprint for a Fairer Education System. We believe both of these bodies of work provide significant input to any conversation around what a post-16 education system should look like.
