    Primary Tackling Educational Disadvantage Network

    This network aims to support primary leaders in developing meaningful, research-informed strategies to tackle educational disadvantage and to securely embed these strategies into day-to-day practice. Sessions offer the chance to share best practice and impact, with leaders learning from wider schools’ successes to address identified areas of need. As the network groups become established, sessions will be adapted, focusing on bespoke areas identified by the group.

    Sessions will provide the opportunity to:

    • Access national and local updates.
    • Engage in discussion about strategy and implementation.
    • Explore research evidence and guidance materials and what these mean in practice.
    • Share strategies across schools, working together to explore strengths and next steps.
    • Experience bespoke training in response to identified needs.
    • Network with other school leaders to enable ideas, questions, and approaches to be shared across schools.

    Delegates should attend one session each term.

    Keyword Search: Disadvantaged strategy

    In the summer and autumn terms of 2023, 346 Vulnerable Pupil school visits were carried by LA advisors to provide leadership support and challenge in the context of positive, professional partnerships. This one-day workshop will focus on sharing our findings, thoughts and next steps and engaging in focused discussion about what this means for leaders in their schools.  Although these visits were to primary schools, findings will also be relevant to secondary and special school contexts.These conversations will feed into a practical workshop aimed at supporting leaders to reflect on the impact of the current pupil premium strategy, developing and refining approaches to ensure effective implementation and meaningful impact.

    Common agenda items for these meetings:
