Reforming the school workforce raises standards and behaviour

New research shows that school staff don’t have to just keep working harder to raise achievement – there are other things that can be done.

Data key to allowing teachers to know pupils

Good data can be as important as good leadership and good teaching in helping low-attaining schools to improve their results, a Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) report has found.

Nearly 500 school leaders, educationalists and business sponsors gathered in London to listen to the Prime Minister deliver the SSAT’s 12th Annual Lecture on 23 June 2008.

79 schools awarded specialist status

A further 79 schools have achieved specialist status, it has been announced today. 92% of all maintained secondary schools are now specialist and 33 local authorities are one hundred percent specialist.

Educational organisations link to boost all-through learning

The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust has partnered with an innovative all-through schools organisation to help school children’s development.
