23. Priorities �Our collective achievement will be measured by the success of the weakest students and the opportunities for the strongest students to excel� Bradford Partnership of Secondary Schools All Bradford schools are judged �good� or better by Ofsted. By when? What will Bradford�s Education Improvement Strategy look like if it is to ensure that we achieve this? Accelerating improvements in educational attainment - this is a key priority in the current Children and Young People�s Plan. Narrowing the gap between vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their peers remains a significant challenge for the district � with a particularly focus on further accelerating the progress of all Pakistani pupils; reversing the increasing attainment gap between those pupils receiving free school meals and those not; and improving the dreadfully low attainment of white pupils on FSM. Are you using the range of data tools on BSO which allow single school, group and authority level analysis of data? Ensure all primary and secondary schools are above the new National Floor Standards. Partnership working at all levels - so that school-to-school working plays a significant role in achieving our aspirations for all of the District�s schools to be high achieving and rapidly improving.
