gaps in targeted schools

Ofsted - why were we inspected?
• The new inspection regime for Local Authorities
was introduced in January 2013.
• There are only two judgments possible from the
inspection – Effective or Ineffective.
• Only those authorities which meet certain
triggers are inspected.
12
What were the main findings?
• The judgment was that the local authority arrangements
for supporting school improvement are ineffective.
• Inspectors agreed that we have the right strategy for
improvement going forward and that there had been
positive engagement with Headteachers in its
development.
• However, they were clear that we need to increase the
pace of improvement, particularly in the primary sector, so
that outcomes are at least in line with national averages
by 2015.
13
Strengths
• The proportion of secondary and special schools judged good is
significantly above average; as is the proportion of outstanding
special schools.
• The impact of the Virtual School can be seen in the above-average
achievements of looked-after children.
• Initiatives like the ‘Village School’ in the Early Years Foundation
Stage, are helping to prepare children for school more effectively and
improve the quality of provision.
• A higher-than-average proportion of school-leavers in 2013
participated in their chosen education or training.
• Well above average proportions of students who attend further
education colleges and sixth forms now access good provision.
14
Priorities for Improvement
Priority 1: Halt the decline in primary school performance and
accelerate the pace of improvement, so that inspection outcomes are at
least in line with the national averages by summer 2015.
Priority 2: Identify and communicate unequivocally to underperforming
schools that their rate of improvement is not good enough and follow
through with robust monitoring.
Priority 3: Systematically monitor the impact of support and intervention
provided by school improvement services, holding managers to account
more effectively for the quality of the provision.
Priority 4: Rapidly improve and sustain high attainment in English and
mathematics by the end of all key stages, especially for pupils known to
be eligible for free school meals
15
Priorities for Improvement
Priority 5: Ensure all learners have successful transitions between the
phases of education training or employment to age 19, and sharply
improve Level 3 attainment.
Priority 6: Provide strong strategic leadership and challenge to schools
to support the reduction of temporary exclusions across all types of
schools.
Priority 7: Ensure every school has high calibre leadership and
governance and rapidly increase the number of effective leaders in
primary schools, through pursuing key local authority strategies such as
school-to-school support.
Priority 8: Provide all governing bodies with timely information and
guidance to enable them to evaluate how well their school is performing
and provide informed challenge to school leaders
Post-Ofsted action plan
• We have an action plan for improvement
against each of these priorities
• Will be working closely with Education
Improvement Partnerships to consolidate
the improvements in outcomes we have
seen in 2014.
Role of the LA in respect of
academies
• Statutory Duty to ensure all children in
East Sussex receive a good education
• Ofsted expectation that LA will monitor
Academy Performance, offer support and
advise DfE and Ofsted of concerns
• Elected members committed to all children
being able to attend a school that is at
least good and LA working in partnership
with academies in East Sussex
Recruitment of Headteachers
• Shared Leadership Options – Federations and
Partnerships
• Expanding the leadership internship programme,
and work with Teaching Schools to support the
development of outstanding leaders.
• Working in partnership with the National College to
increase opportunities for leadership development
programmes.
• Exploring strategies for encouraging strong
headship applicants from both inside and outside
East Sussex.
Supporting young people into
work
• Supporting schools to provide good Information,
Advice and Guidance – Investors In Careers
• Targeted one to one information, advice and
guidance for vulnerable 16-18 year olds
• Employment with training programmes
• Working with partners to create more
apprenticeships
• Young Enterprise programmes
• Corporate Employability and Skills Strategy
