Raising Attainment with Wellbeing
Create an inclusive learning environment that supports and nurtures the highest possible levels of emotional wellbeing, accelerating progress and securing better personal outcomes.
This programme is brought to you by:
We offer education settings a comprehensive set of complementary strategies and approaches to unlock academic achievement and accelerate progress by:
Improving the emotional wellbeing and mental health of an education setting, staff as well as all children and young people
Re-examining a whole school community’s relationship with “behaviour” and “behaviour management”, creating culture and practice that is trauma-informed and relationships-driven
Applying the latest knowledge in the neuroscience of learning to create classrooms that support neurodiverse learners through grounded cognitive and metacognitive practice
Removing individual barriers to learning through the advanced deployment of Assistive Technologies
Simply put, an anxious, frightened or angry mind simply will not learn.
This programme is designed to have a positive and sustained impact on critical cohorts of children and young people that may have lost significant ground because of Covid-19 disruption, supporting improvements in culture, climate and ethos that will enable achievement to thrive:
This Programme is designed to have a profound whole-school impact, supporting your journey out of RI, or from Good to Outstanding. Outstanding Schools will also be able to demonstrate a drive for continual improvement and system leadership.
EVALUATION
It is important to critically examine the impact of any school improvement programme, for a number of reasons:
a) to monitor progress across a wide range of measures
b) to assess, identify and celebrate what is working and identify what isn't
c) to critically reflect on barriers to progress and address them
d) to feed whole-school self-evaluation reporting, to Governance and to statutory inspection
Raising Attainment with Wellbeing is designed to support impact evaluation using a range of tools and strategies:
A first step is to identify how your school community measures wellbeing currently, and consider ways of enhancing these tools and approaches as a first step.
The programme also offers:
a) A detailed and comprehensive Needs Analysis framework that identifies strengths and areas for improvement, supports the prioritisation of activity, and can be revisited to judge progress. Although this initial step within the Programme can be conducted internally, an external coach could be commissioned to add independent scrutiny and assessment to the process.
b) Freely available wellbeing measurement tools are signposted in the leadership modules, such as the Anna Freud tool to measure staff wellbeing (available as an online template), although it is strongly recommended to extend your engagement with the programme through the additional commissioning of Myself as a Learner (recommended by the EEF) and the Sterling Wellbeing Test.
c) Individual focussed activity within different elements of the Programme will generate their own measurable outputs (such as positive behaviour management peer reviews and adapting Wave 1 teaching behaviours to be more inclusive)
Additionally, key school improvement measures, such as attendance and punctuality, engagement in learning, use of school discipline pathways including fixed-term suspension, permanent exclusion and managed move statistics, will reflect progress made and a journey travelled.
Options with in-person coach will incur additional travel expenses.
Schools completing Options 1 or 2 are eligible for the Silver National Whole School Wellbeing Award.
Those completing Option 3 are eligible for the Gold Award.
To monitor progress throughout the programme we recommend regular surveys of staff and, with children, the use of tools like Myself As A Learner Scale (recommended by the EEF ) and The Stirling Wellbeing Test (recommended by the DFE)
