Eight years ago a meeting was held in the DfE attended by the key national leaders inc @ofsted and the DfE. We decided that a quality standard for school improvement advisers would have a major impact.

Excellent article offering a practical way forward to the benefit of young people in all kinds of schools.
Imagine harnessing the collective energy of the school system in the way Les proposes in his article….
A really thought provoking article Les.

3wExcellent piece Les. I have talked for many years about the need to move from competition to co-opetition in school improvement. This approach has existed in sport for many years, where well resourced larger clubs, develop players by supporting smaller clubs, through creating more competitive and entertaining games. I believe that in Midlothian (SE Scotland), we are about to realise this vision, through the construction of a new equitable Senior phase curriculum, across all 6 secondaries. The Midlothian Aligned Curriculum Offer (MACO), provides industry supported (school based) career education qualifications to all learners. Traditional academic options have also been enhanced. Our Headteachers are collaboratively funding this improvement, at a financially challenging time, when we have no option but to come together.
