School Improvement Programmes

The improvement programmes we would deploy to accelerate progress at our academies will make extensive use of the excellent material used as part of the City and National Challenge programmes and the Improving Schools programme (ISP). Building on these and other tried and tested programmes our aim will be to:
  • strengthen the leadership and governance of each academy
  • develop a whole-school focus on learning and accelerating children’s progress
  • improve the quality of learning and teaching in all subject areas
  • enable children to reflect on, evaluate and be responsible for their learning
  • support curriculum review and the provision of a curriculum that meets the needs and interests of all learners

The support from the School Improvement Adviser has had a major impact on improving performance. Governors now feel empowered to ask questions and challenge the school about the effectiveness of actions taken and enabled leaders to strengthen the capacity for further improvement.
