2 1. Action the Local Authority proposes to take in light of the inspection report that resulted in special measures, to address the main bullets under: What does the school need to do to improve further? Improve the quality of teaching and learning so that students achievement across the school accelerates rapidly, particularly in English, mathematics, geography and history, at GCSE and in the sixth form; o o o ensuring that teachers use all the information they have on students capability to plan activities that will challenge students to think hard and deepen their understanding, awaken their curiosity and raise their expectations of what can be achieved ensuring that teachers maximise the opportunities in lessons to check their students understanding, making sure that students have captured the key ideas in order to progress their learning making sure that when teachers mark students work, teachers focus on those aspects that will bring about the greatest gains in students understanding in order to accelerate their progress and then making sure that students act on this advice. Increase the proportion of students, and in particular disadvantaged students, making expected progress and more than expected progress in English and mathematics at GCSE so that both measures meet, at least, the government s targets. As a matter of urgency improve the impact of leadership and management in improving the quality of teaching and so raise standards of achievement by: o o o o o ensuring that senior leaders and governors evaluation of how well the school is doing, including the quality of teaching, is rigorous and robust and used to inform the priorities in the school development plan ensuring governors use a range of sources of evidence on the school s performance to enable them to provide an appropriate level of challenge to senior leaders and hold them to account continuing to develop rigorous systems for monitoring students progress across the school and in all subjects, using this information to target effective extra help for those students who are falling behind. Using performance management to improve teachers classroom practice and hold them rigorously to account for students achievement. Ensuring that improving the quality of teaching features as one of the key areas for improvement in the school development plan An external review of governance should be undertaken in order to assess how this aspect of leadership and management maybe improved. An external review of the school s use of the pupil premium should be undertaken in order to assess how this aspect of leadership and governance may be improved. 2. Arrangements for informing registered parents of the proposed action as well as ascertaining and taking their views in to account; St Chads Catholic and Church of England High School Post OfSTED Action plan

3 The published report was accompanied by a letter outlining the support the Local Authority will be providing for the school. A meeting for parents and carers will be held on 12th November 2014 and discussion will take place around the report, actions to date, the timetable for HMI monitoring visits and the role of the Local Authority. The meeting was supported by Steve Nyakatawa (Operational Director, Halton Local Authority) and Tony Billings (support Headteacher). The Headteacher was present in addition to the school s senior leadership team and the Chair of Governors. The school will be seeking nominations from parents who wish to be more closely involved in a forum designed to enable parents and carers to share their views. The Local Authority will work closely with the Governing Body and Diocese to ensure that the progress the school is making is reported to parents after each monitoring visit by Her Majesty s Inspector (HMI). Parents and carers will get a progress report linked to the HMI monitoring visits. The school will gather parents views through regular questionnaires and surveys. The responses from parents/carers will be scrutinised as part of the role of the Governors Special Measures Sub-committee. 3. The period within which proposed actions are planned: September 2014-July The school improvement plan will cover 2015/16 onwards. The local authority has commissioned the support of a National Leader in Education (NLE), Tony Billings (2 days per week in the autumn term 2014 and 2.5 days per week in the spring and summer terms 2015) to address two critical areas for improvement identified in the inspection report. In order to improve the quality of teaching, the NLE lead on training for all staff on the Teacher Effectiveness Enhanced Programme (TEEP). The resources for funding the programme will be met by the local authority and the school. The evidence shows that effective implementation of the TEEP programme has improved the impact of leadership and management in improving the quality of teaching and thus raising standards of attainment. The local authority has also commissioned the NLE to review leadership and management roles within the school and recommend if a re-structure of the senior leadership is required. The local authority Human Resources Department will support this process in order to secure strong leadership for the school. The NLE will also provide training on the new Ofsted framework to governors. The NLE is an accredited Ofsted team inspector. 4. In accordance with the Schools Causing Concern Guidance for Local Authorities, schools judged inadequate are expected to convert to Academy status under the leadership of a strong sponsor. The Department for Education will be holding discussions with the school, the local authority and the Dioceses of Chester and Shrewsbury about academy conversion in the middle of November The attached action plan could be subject to change when a sponsor has been identified and the timeline for academy conversion is agreed.
