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
