Annex 1

Targets for individual schools and aggregated school targets 2003 LEA aggregated school performance targets and DfES agreed targets for the LEA

• In most cases the 2004 targets at KS2, set by the DfES are very challenging for the LEA to achieve, and will require the LEA and schools to work closely together on raising standards by a significant amount during the next three years.

• At KS3 and 4, school data suggests that the DfES LEA targets will be achievable, particularly with the current focus on raising attainment at KS3 through the implementation of the national Key Stage 3 strategy

• Work in literacy and numeracy at KS2 will focus on particular areas of under-performance, and specific groups of pupils will be targeted to enable them to raise their standards of attainment by 2004. This programme will be a combination of locally based and national strategy initiatives at LEA and school level.

• The aggregated school targets for 2004, which are based on pupil level data, indicate a number of differences between the information given by schools and the targets that the DfES expect Lambeth to achieve in 2004.

The LEA’s monitoring and evaluation strategy for the Education Development Plan 1 Monitoring

1.1 The LEA sees monitoring of the work in progress, and its impact on schools and raising standards, as an integral part of the activity. The LEA aims to be transparent in its working with schools and involves headteachers in reviewing the strengths and weaknesses in a school’s provision and achievements, as well as LEA action. The headteachers’ council has working groups which focus on the work in each LEA division.

1.2 Each activity plan identifies which officer or group monitors progress and achievement; this is completed by someone other than the lead officer for the area of work. The LEA has implemented the Council systems to monitor progress through performance management procedures which includes staff appraisal, best value reviews and service unit business planning together with setting a range of performance indicators. All the activity plans, which underpin the EDP work, are part of the individual service unit work programmes. The progress towards achieving the targets in these are monitored regularly by senior officers and/or the Directorate Management Team (DMT), as appropriate, through the staff appraisal process and specific discussions about cross-cutting areas of the directorate’s work. EDP progress will be a regular DMT agenda item.

1.3 The key targets and many of the performance indicators identified in the EDP will be incorporated into the Council’s Best Value Performance Plan and the progress made towards achieving the targets is reported quarterly to the Directorate Management Team and the Council’s Policy Committee.

1.4 Much of the LEA’s work is completed in partnership with schools. School staff and governors are able to report the impact of the LEA’s work through the headteachers’ council, and governors’ forum as appropriate. LEA officers attend these meetings.

1.5 Overall school performance is closely monitored by the advisory team using data produced nationally and by the Research &Statistics team in Lambeth, as well as through school visits. The focus and frequency of these visits are linked to the success of the school concerned. Lambeth data is presented clearly in school profiles so that it is accessible and easily understood. Data produced by the LEA increasingly contributes to the monitoring of the progress of under performing groups and the value added aspects of schools’ work.

1.6 The key performance indicators in literacy and numeracy are monitored by the English and mathematics advisers, and the KS3 results are monitored by the KS3 strategy manager.

1.7 The advisory team also monitor schools’ progress at least termly, together with headteachers. Governing bodies are always involved when there are causes for concern. When there are causes for concern about school performance the School Improvement Monitoring Group, chaired by the Executive Director of Education, reviews progress made by schools and ensures that LEA action to support and challenge the school to improve is co-ordinated and appropriate. 2 Evaluation

2.1 The LEA regularly evaluates its work internally and this is linked to the monitoring processes identified above. All activity plans identify who is responsible for evaluating the success of the work, which is a different officer / group from the lead officer and those responsible for monitoring day-to-day progress. A member of the Directorate Management Team will be identified to take overall responsibility for each of the seven priorities. They will regularly draw together key officers with responsibility for each activity within the priority to evaluate progress and agree whether any new or different action is needed. Through this process good practice can be identified and shared across the LEA and schools, where practice needs to improve this can be addressed quickly and any overall issues addressed as soon as is possible. The progress towards achieving he EDP targets, as a whole, will be evaluated on an annual basis, and reported in the Chief Inspector’s report.

2.2 Overall responsibility for this rests with the Policy and Performance officer, who will report to the Executive Director of Education, Directorate Management Team and the Council.

2.3 Lambeth education also looks positively to external inspection, review and audit, which evaluates the success of services and guides the focus of work to continue improvement. Our experience of these processes so far has been one of support and challenge, which have helped us focus our efforts to improve. Best value reviews of services are an ongoing process of ensuring service provision is cost- effective and of good quality.

2.4 The LEA is committed to surveying schools (headteachers) annually about the level and quality of service they receive. This is by way of using an Audit Commission survey based on that used in the inspection of LEAs. As part of the annual review of the EDP the LEA will ensure that headteachers are asked to contribute their evaluation of the impact of the LEA’s work. The LEA also wishes to involve governors in this process and it may well be that existing meetings of the Governors Forum Executive might be able to include this in their work.

2.5 The advisory team works with two other London LEAs, to evaluate Lambeth’s school improvement work in schools causing concern. 3 Annual Monitoring and Evaluation Timetable

3.1 The LEA aims as far as possible to make use of existing council and directorate procedures to monitor and evaluate its work and not duplicate effort.

Lambeth Education’s consultation on EDP 2 Introduction

From the start of preparing to write the Educational Development Plan (EDP), Lambeth Education Authority officers have sought to consult widely on its content. The aims of this process have been to generate interest and canvas as many views as possible about education priorities. We have sought to explain the purpose of the document and to highlight the importance of the EDP to all Lambeth citizens and interested parties (council employees, schools, school governors and partner organisations) as well as local councillors, MPs and other public representatives for the borough of Lambeth. It has been of major importance to us to take the EDP to people who do not just have an educational focus.

In short, we have tried, in line with the council’s vision and values, to ensure that all sections of the community have been included in the consultation, with the additional aim of raising their awareness of the educational priorities for Lambeth over the next five years.

Stage 1 Audit and priority identification

Lambeth’s EDP started its consultation life as a blank sheet of paper exercise involving a number of different groups (local political representatives, partners, local businesses and voluntary bodies, as well as headteachers and governors) to ensure that the most important areas of LEA work would be included. These meetings were informed by the LEA’s audit of strengths and weaknesses and the local context.

This took the form of a series of stakeholder meetings in June 2001. Separate meetings were held for Lambeth Education’s Managers’ Forum, elected members and Strategic Management Board (SMB). Three meetings were held for headteachers of all Lambeth school to maximise attendance. Separate meetings were held for Chairs of Governors and Partner Organisations including: voluntary groups, police, local business and complementary schools. Our aim was to collect as many suggestions as possible before defining those priorities that would help to improve performance and raise achievement in Lambeth schools. It also allowed the LEA to demonstrate to partners and other organisations their importance to Lambeth Council in the decision making process as well as gaining from their expertise.

From these initial meeting the main officers involved in drafting the EDP2 were able to identify a list of seven priorities. It was also apparent that a number of themes raised were central to the work of schools and the LEA. It was decided that these would become a set of principles that would underpin our priorities. There was, however, a general consensus about the main priorities that should be focused upon.

With the information gained from this exercise a first draft was produced and sent out for consultation. We followed the council’s guidance about consultation and ensured that as many groups as possible were included in this process. This formal consultation period ran from 1st October until 9th November 2001. Stage 2 The Formal Consultation

From the start, the LEA aimed to ensure the consultation document was accessible to a wide range of people with an easy to use feedback procedure. Each EDP2 draft was sent out with a questionnaire. This allowed respondents to state their agreement or not with the priorities and activities and to make any comment they thought was necessary.

Copies were sent to each Lambeth school for the headteacher, teaching staff and support staff to consider. Two copies were sent to each Chair of governors and a copy to the Governors’ Forum Executive members. The EDP was presented and discussed at the Governors Forum AGM on 13th October 01. The draft was also sent to parent governors to enable them to discuss the content with parents.

The draft was summarised into an A5 flyer that briefly outlined the nature of the EDP2, our guiding principles and seven priorities. This was made available in a number of languages. The community was invited to respond to the content through this summary leaflet which was displayed in Town Centre Board offices and publication in North Lambeth, in the LEA’s One Stop Shop, the Town Hall Information desks and Libraries. It was also sent out to schools to be available for parents. In all 30,000 copies were distributed

Both the A5 outline flyer and draft EDP 2 were added to Lambeth’s website. This enabled local citizens and others to download and respond via email.

The draft EDP 2 was also added to Lambeth council’s on-line Consultation Diary and available to council officers and elected members to view, download and respond to its content.

Stage 3 Revision of 1st Draft

We received 47 postal responses to the Draft EDP and outline booklet. Further to this the LEA held a number of meetings and ensured that the draft formed a substantial part of important local educational forums and conferences.

The majority of consultees were invited to comment on and make suggestions through a questionnaire accompanying the draft EDP and outline leaflets while those attending meetings at the LEA were given further opportunity to feedback.

The EDP formed the main agenda for the Lambeth Headteachers’ conference held at the beginning of November 2001 where each of the seven priorities were discussed in workshops, notes were taken and used in the analysis of responses. The Governors’ Forum AGM and the LEA’s regular meeting with union representatives also considered the draft and were encouraged to ensure members responded. There were also meetings held with a number of groups to obtain their comments and views. These included the Strategic Management Board and partner organisations.

Overall, respondents overwhelmingly supported the proposals, in particular the priorities and activities. As with the preliminary meetings some concerns and suggestions focused on the guiding principles of LEA officer’s work. However, there were a number of comments about the following priorities: Priority One

- adequate funding to implement proposals - manageability for schools - closer links with health agencies and social services

Priority Three

- ensure training of overseas trained teachers to support induction into the English school system. - Basic Skills Agency recommended the inclusion of LEA’s work with the agency in this priority.

Priority Four

- Basic Skills Agency recommended the inclusion of LEA’s work with the agency in this priority.

Priority Five

- Closer links with community education facilities such as colleges.

The LEA accepts these comments and suggestions and have made amendments to the plan in these areas

Priority One

- Better links with health agencies and social services (see activity G) - Better developed monitoring of racist incidents and addressing equality issues (see activity E)

Priority Three

- Links to the Basic Skills Agency added

Priority Four

- Links to the Basic Skills Agency added

Priority Five

- Closer links with community education facilities such as Morley College added Stage 4 Agreement Process

The plan requires formal council agreement. The council’s policy committee will fully consider the plan. It is then passed to the full council for final approval.
