Targeted reviews to support engagement, learning and achievement
Professionals within all phases of education, from early years to 16+ and beyond, are already grappling with the impact Covid-19 has had on engagement and learning.
As we reach forwards towards a “new normal”, focussed high-impact action will be needed in order to close the gaps that have appeared in learning, progress and achievement.
We have developed a range of 4-6 week review offers to help settings from Early Years through to Post 16, and also specifically primary and secondary schools in Wales, to kick start enhanced practice and rapid improvement in specific areas of need, with the support of our evidence-based materials and of course led by one of our specialist Achievement Coaches.
We hope the Step-Up Reviews will ease pressure on leadership teams / staff and support the wellbeing of children too.
