In better off families in England 40% of children study five hours a day, against 26% in poorer homes

Research by the Sutton Trust showed schools are now better equipped to deliver remote learning than they were last March, but significant socio-economic gaps persist, which will fuel mounting fears about the growing attainment gap between disadvantaged children and their classmates.
