Education Challenge Board school improvement survey

This is a survey about the initiatives which schools and other education settings are leading to improve outcomes for young people in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. We want to hear about your most innovative projects, your greatest successes and your brightest ideas.

In autumn term 2021, the Secretary of State for Education, Nadhim Zahawi MP, launched a new levelling-up initiative to coordinate education improvement in the city of Stoke-on-Trent. Education Challenge Board exists to link up education improvement projects led by schools, academy trusts and other education settings across the city, and to maximise the impact of each setting can have on the progress young people make. The Board is led by seven academy trust CEOs in partnership with representatives from the Department for Education, Ofsted, the City Council and other partners. 

The board wants to begin its work by mapping the education improvement projects which are taking place in the city now. We want to hear about defined projects and approaches, involving one or more education settings, which are aimed at raising outcomes for young people. There are eight questions in this short survey, which you should complete once for each education improvement project you would like to tell us about.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to meeting you soon.

Sir Mark Grundy,
