Overview
Rotherham provides resources and a coherent programme of strategies focused on teaching and learning, behaviour and attendance, and leadership. Schools working in partnership with the local education authority deliver the initiatives, which make up the programme. They are as follows:-
City Learning Centres [CLC] provide state-of-the art ICT-based learning opportunities for the pupils at the host school, for pupils at a network of surrounding schools and for the wider community
EiC Education Action Zones [EiCAZ] enable local partnerships, which includes the private sector, to urgently target action on areas of need and develop innovative solutions for raising educational standards.
Learning Support Units provide short-term teaching and support programmes tailored to the needs of pupils who need help in improving their behaviour, attendance or attitude to learning.
Learning Mentors provide support and guidance to children, young people and those engaged with them, by removing barriers to learning in order to promote effective participation, enhance individual learning, raise aspirations and achieve full potential.
Gifted & Talented education seeks to improve the education of gifted and talented children and young people aged 3-19 in schools and colleges throughout Rotherham.
Aimhigher is designed to address the under-representation of students from disadvantaged backgrounds in higher education.
The Specialist Schools Programme helps schools, in partnership with private sector sponsors and supported by additional Government funding, to establish distinctive identities through their chosen specialisms and achieve their targets to raise standards.
The Behaviour Improvement Programme involves supporting schools in improving pupil behaviour and attendance - areas which can present key barriers to learning.
The Leadership Incentive Grant is intended to accelerate the improvement in standards; strengthen leadership at all levels& stimulate collaboration within and between schools.
Achieving the Vision
• Develop an overall strategy for secondary education which is coherent across the range of new initiatives;
• Recognise and provide for areas where there is a high concentration of social and economic disadvantage;
• Recognise and celebrate good practice in our school which is then shared with others;
• Create a range of new, exciting and challenging opportunities for young people;
• Provide high quality, sustainable ICT resources for pupils, teachers and local communities;
• Target resources to pupils’ needs.
