Trust case study: Using data intelligently to secure success for every child

St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust comprises of five primary and four secondary schools, and one registered nursery, and serves some of the country’s most highly disadvantaged communities. In this session, Andrew and Amy will share the trust’s approach to an ambitious curriculum, that has reading at its core, and places value on high yield learning activities and adult instruction. The case study is rooted in a structured progression model based on the principle of 'keep up, not catch up' and is driven by insights from a robust system of assessment. Importantly, they will discuss how they use this model to ensure the provision of the right opportunities at the right time for each child to master all areas of the curriculum to achieve a good level of development.
