Lib Dems make deprived pupils a priority
The Liberal Democrats will next week outline proposals to give schools more money for pupils from deprived backgrounds.
In his maiden speech at the party's conference on Wednesday, the schools spokesman, David Laws, is to advocate taking money from the tax credits system to subsidise a "pupil premium" for children living in poorer areas. The amount will be based on family income and other characteristics, such as if the child is in care.
