Since 1998, the National Strategies have taken the form of a professional development programme providing training and targeted support to teachers (and increasingly practitioners). The training and support programmes have been supplemented by materials and resources provided free of charge and widely accepted as being of high quality.
During 2005 and 2006, the National Strategies took on an expanded brief, which increased the age range covered and the way in which system-wide challenge and support is provided through the Strategies. The expanded functions include:
- Local Authority whole school improvement
- School Improvement Partners
- Behaviour & Attendance
- Early Years from 0 to 5 years
- 14-19
Our mission
“To raise standards of achievement and rates of progression for children and young people in all phases and settings through personalised learning with a particular focus on the core subjects and early years”
