The Black Country - Pathways to Achievement
The Pathways to Achievement programme aims to raise standards in schools facing some of the most challenging circumstances in the Black Country and break the link between deprivation and underachievement.
Its key aims are to:
-
create a culture of achievement;
-
build the capacity of schools to deliver sustainable improvement and embed best practice at all levels;
-
help schools improve students’ results;
-
strengthen school ethos and improve parents’ and pupils’ perceptions.
Schools are supported by an experienced adviser with practical experience of school improvement. The adviser will work closely with the school, Local Authority officers and the School Improvement Partner (SIP) to assess the key challenges facing the school and broker a tailored package of support to meet those needs.
There will be around 30 primary and 30 secondary Pathways to Achievement schools but the schools involved may change over the duration of the Black Country Challenge.
