Better Together? Significant success in reducing the PP gap. Schools which engaged with HSG support on average fared better: -2.4% vs -4.8% Statistical correlation between a school’s engagement & achieving target results.

How was it for you? “What were the areas of success and underperformance for my school or academy?” “Is there anything important missing from the summary of the current state of play for the County?”

We have learned that: We didn’t do enough to enable all schools to engage with HSG We should have worked more closely with schools to agree/understand targets LA needs to be more confident that all HTs have a secure grasp of likely outcomes and predictions are accurate The quality, timeliness and intensity of support needs to improve We didn’t monitor effectiveness of support sufficiently well

What are we doing about it? We are going to: increase our efforts to engage with HTs support HTs to get to grips with the data facilitate improved sharing of data negotiate targets with schools via CHTs improve the quality & quantity of support monitor ongoing effectiveness of support via CHTs Work with Martin K on Attainment/Progress 8
