Early life

[edit]

She was born in the Philippines. She is the daughter of Ampleforth-educated Philippe (Philip) Maurice Vignoles (23 March 1943 - 24 January 2002) of East Horsley and Lucy Ronca from Amberley, Gloucestershire, who married at Woodchester Priory on Saturday 4 June 1966, conducted by Roman Catholic John Petit (bishop).[9][10][11]

Charles Blacker Vignoles FRS is her great-great grandfather. Her grandfather's first marriage was in 1900 in Essex; Walter Adolph Vignoles served as a Lt Col in the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers in WWI, later living in Grimsby; he remarried in 1942 in Middlesex, living in East Horsley until 1953. The musician Roger Vignoles is the son of her father's elder half-brother (born in Grimsby); her half-cousin.[12]

Research

[edit]

Anna’s work is in the area of Economics of Education, with a key focus on the economic value of education.[13][14] She researches the ways in which the school system does or does not improve social mobility and ensures that people have the skills they need for the modern labour market.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] She is known for her work using large scale data to illuminate the unequal educational and economic outcomes for children growing up in various family circumstances,[22] as well as her research into how well the education system is meeting the needs of both individuals and the wider economy.[23] Her research has suggested ways to reduce the large socioeconomic inequalities in education achievement that are present in the UK.[24][25]
