Evaluation of the Primary and Secondary National Strategies

18 Feb 2008 Ofsted

Ref: 070033

The Primary and Secondary National Strategies have been in place for over six years. They are intended to help improve teaching and learning and to raise achievement. This report reviews progress since 2005 and evaluates the quality of transition from primary to secondary schools, with a particular focus on the continuity of learning. It evaluates the support which local authorities provide for schools to implement the National Strategies. The survey found that the impact of the National Strategies was good in around half of the schools inspected. However, in around 1 in 10 of the schools its effectiveness was seriously limited by weak leadership. There was too little continuity of learning for pupils as they moved to secondary school. Local authorities provided generally good support to schools.
