Education Strategy

The core cycle of the Framework that describes the trust level work that all individual academies will receive, contribute to and work collaboratively with and is designed to provide regular assurance activity and academy development. This cycle of activity will provide academies with information to improve their self-evaluation and development planning. It also includes regular collaborative activity designed to build capacity, expertise, support and challenge. The Core Offer is vast, covering areas such as Safeguarding, SEND, assessment and includes our Professional Learning Networks.

Where academies require intervention and support for particular areas of performance, then through professional dialogue between the headteacher and Chief Education Officer, the appropriate Trust or external support will be brokered. Some additional support may require an additional cost to the academy.

Specific professional development programmes and projects are designed and offered to meet the needs of academies where evaluation of KPIs, analysis of performance indicators, feedback from headteachers and national priorities identify trends across the academies that require whole Trust strategies to support improvement. These are led by the Shared Services Education Team, expertise from within the system or externally led or could be research learning communities led from within the system.
