The Improvement Pathway
For schools needing intensive support
For schools that Ofsted regards as needing intensive support, Bright Tribe provides significant intervention and support to ensure these schools make both rapid and sustainable progress. This is achieved through the appointment of a:
- Residency Adviser - with turnaround and capacity building skills who works intensively with the leadership and school improvement teams for a period of two terms for two or three days a week.
- School Adviser – following the initial period of intensive intervention the school adviser is then able to work directly with the school improvement team.
- Curriculum Adviser – in literacy, numeracy, behaviour and data management: these are usually the deficit areas in such schools.
- Bright Tribe Headteacher – who provides immediate support for those schools without leadership capacity until a substantive headteacher can be appointed.
Our aim is to produce a confident and competent leadership and school improvement team able to make significant and rapid improvement. The on-going analysis of pupil data for these schools will show evidence of progress in all year groups and across the distribution. The school would then be in a position to join the Bright Tribe improvement pathway.
