Overview:
This project will identify and share ‘what has
worked’ when good schools become outstanding. It will consider what
practice is transferable whilst at the same time moving towards an
understanding of the effect an outstanding school might have on its
local context and/or on a local authority. Within the context of
the Ofsted framework the project will focus on improvements in five
key areas: consistency of teaching, distributed leadership, the
engagement of pupils and parents, transition, and action to raise
the attainment of underachieving groups.
