School leaders play a pivotal role in creating equal opportunities for children in primary education. Through their day-to-day understanding of pupils and families, they are uniquely placed to bring together the wider network of support services surrounding the school. This enables them to make decisions that give school teams the space to provide high-quality education and ensure their pupils are genuinely seen and supported. These are the findings of new qualitative research by Impact Centre Erasmus, commissioned by ABN  AMRO Foundation as part of its 25th anniversary year. An important way many school leaders do this is by working with liaison officers who connect schools, families and support services.
