  3. Working Together to Galvanise Improvement Louise Soden, Regional Director (East Midlands), Ofsted Alison Michalska, Corporate Director for Children & Adults, Nottingham City Council

  4. Context • Nottingham is a city with high levels of deprivation • Attainment has been improving year on year but is still behind national averages • Attendance has been a long-standing issue • December 2013 – inspections conducted in 7 secondary schools & academies in the City • All were found to be ‘inadequate’

  5. Thematic Findings Attainment – insufficient progress Attendance – attendance low and persistent absenteeism Poor quality of teaching, low expectations and lack of pace and challenge in lessons Behaviour – disruptions, poor student attitudes Weak leadership and governance

  6. Collaboration – The Nottingham City Schools Challenge Board & Reference Group Challenge Board Reference Group Local Authority (Elected Members and Officers) NLE’s and NLG’s DfE Academies Unit Reps from local colleges Reps from Schools & Academies (Primary & Secondary) Reps from Universities NLE Advisors Business Reps Early Intervention Foundation Ofsted Independent Chair

  7. The Role of the Local Authority • Champions for our children & families – democratic mandate • Challenging and quality assuring provision – our difficult social context is not an excuse for under-performance, it’s a reason to be even better! • Drive development of city-wide education strategy to cover all providers • Linking education providers into the bigger picture – learning & aspiration are vital to building a successful City • Sticking to our early intervention principles – improvement at primary, need to ensure this follows through into secondary. • Continuing to focus on the most vulnerable • Leading on city-wide partnership issues (i.e. recruitment & retention)

  8. Learning from the Ofsted Annual Report • Misconceptions in schools about what constitutes good quality teaching • Using your best teachers as an early intervention! • Strong, experienced and decisive school leadership and governance is critical • Schools & academies need to access the right expertise to improve themselves (NLEs and Teaching Schools) • Understanding the inspection regime improves schools
