LA • Loss of funding • Loss of personnel • Loss of ‘memory’ • Residual responsibilities but little power to support • Reduced level of support for schools e.g. Ed. Psych. • This makes it harder to sustain the links with other organisations e.g. Health
OFSTED • Increased pressure – satisfactory not good enough • Narrowed focus on key out comes driving judgements- at secondary = 5+A*-C inc English and Maths
