Examining the Local Authority's Support and Challenge to Schools with Priorities for Improvement - 2004/05

During 2004/05 the Lifelong Learning Overview and Scrutiny Panel reviewed 'The Local Authority's Support and Challenge to Schools with Priorities for Improvement'.  

This review examined how the local authority helps schools that, either through Ofsted inspections, or through the authority's own review work have been identified as particularly needing to improve, for example if the school has been placed in special measures. 

The review looked in detail at the work of officers, partners and schools, which included making several school visits, to draw their conclusions.  

The recommendations in the report have been turned into an action plan that is helping Councillors to monitor the future work of the Council in this area.
