Race To The Top

The Strategy is being developed to...........

Accelerate improvement in educational outcomes for the children and young

people of Northamptonshire

Race To The Top

Key improvement standards that form part of the Strategy:• Recruitment and retention of a highly skilled

and outstanding school workforce

• Education/Business Partnerships – developing a sustainable mentoring and leadership offer between businesses and schools.  Led by Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership  

• Robust intervention for all schools (including Academies and Free Schools) – consistent with our current guidelines and the DfE statutory guidance for Local Authorities

Expectations are clear to all schools, including Academies and Free Schools ................

We expect them to meet the Local Authority’s Category 1 (Outstanding) and be at least ‘Good’ as defined and judged by Ofsted
