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 themes arise within the networks, sessions are 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.
