ChallengesA National Framework For Education
The School Effectiveness Framework (SEF) is the key policy forschool reform in Wales and the one to which all other policiesare aligned.
It describes the purpose of schools as being to:
• enable all children and young people to develop their full potential;
• promote a culture of social inclusion;
• establish strong professional learning communities in schools;
• offer children and young people a curriculum that engages and motivates them to learn;
• provide a learning community for all engaged in school life;
• deliver integrated services for children and young people to improve their wellbeing;
• ensure that all schools are community focussed.
ChallengesA National Framework For Education
In order to support schools on this journey, Local Authorities and their Consortia through their ‘System Leaders’ will:
• Support schools so that they can achieve the national model of school improvement;
• Challenge schools and governing bodies by continuous monitoring of performance; • Create and support networks of effective practice within, between and across schools focusing on teaching and learning, with a drive to improve outcomes for all;
• Bring together effective head teachers as part of the team focussed on school improvement and head teacher performance management;
• Provide training to ensure that schools make the best use of data to improve performance;
• Work with governing bodies and other local authorities to achieve the above.
ChallengesNational Priorities For Education
The Minister will soon be announcing priorities for Education as :
Literacy across the curriculum
Numeracy across the curriculum
Reducing the impact of child poverty on educational attainment
