Improving Pupil Outcomes and Plugging the Gaps in Learning
New research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) indicates that the gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and their classmates increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst the report focuses on the gap widening in primary schools, there will undoubtedly be an impact on secondary readiness and the curriculum transition. Secondary provisions need to prepare for the suspected curriculum gap as part of their anticipatory duty, in order to provide the most suitable, yet aspirational approach for their students.
How Can The Education People Help?
Our Secondary School Improvement team has put together a number of resources to help improve outcomes for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, and bridge those gaps in learning.
Secondary Leadership Files - These Secondary Leadership files covering Maths and English will support a Head of Department review and evaluate the quality of education within their department.
Disadvantage Resources - A new Disadvantage Toolkit written and developed by our School Improvement experts is now available to purchase.
