Keynote: School improvement: Where we go next, together
When schools improve together what makes the difference - and how can more children benefit? In September, CST published major research tracking attainment across England’s state schools since 2007. It found that schools in trusts have, on average, improved more than other types of state-funded school, with particularly strong gains in disadvantaged communities. These findings pose a productive challenge: how do we move from evidence of improvement to a deeper understanding of what drives it? And how can we identify, codify and share the practices that make the greatest difference?
