AM Workshop Session - Is your Trust next? What to expect on MAT Summative Evaluations?

Is democratising data the key to fast, impactful decision making? We’ll explore how powerful analytics are revolutionising the way trusts are run.

Summary: The class divisions we have in Britain continue to exist today. The inequalities in society our young people face lodge them in disadvantage and widen gaps between the rich and the poor. There have been a number of government initiatives over the years, e.g changing curricula, a new exam system and yet we have not reached a point of creating a sustainable pathway within our education system for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Raising the educational achievement of young people from low income families remains a challenge. The issues have not gone away and as we enter a world of managing crisis whilst preparing for the future, we have the opportunity as leaders in education to make a real difference. We must embrace that tackling educational underachievement for our most deprived pupils is our biggest priority! The presentation will explore the importance of parental engagement as well as pedagogical strategies in the classroom.
