AfA is a whole school improvement framework focused on the 20% of vulnerable and SEND learners. It works through 4 dimensions: Leadership of Achievement for All, Teaching & Learning, Parental Engagement and Wider Outcomes. Schools identify and champion who is an SLT member & target year groups.
Schools are supported with initial needs analysis, action planning and evaluation through training, a structured conversation with parents and fortnightly visits from an Achievement Coach and a School Handbook.
The coach and School Champion develop a programme which meets the school’s needs building on existing successes. Initially AfA focuses on 2 target groups of pupils but then the practice is expanded to the whole school.
