Transforming progress
Schools and colleges achieve impact through our Accelerator programme, building best-practice principles deeply into education – enabling all learners to benefit from world class essential skills teaching and progression. Skills Leaders lead this approach in their institution, so that all teachers are trained and confident, and work with senior leaders to make the policy changes required.
94% of Skills Leaders observe progress in the first term
95% of Skills Leaders report increased confidence to deliver change in school after training
“The impact on the children was immediate, with high levels of engagement and a clear link with developing communication and confidence”
