Learning Challenge

The Learning Challenge is part of a 'toolkit' provided to schools under the Key Stage 3 Strategy to help them provide catch-up intervention for pupils performing below expectations for their age. As well as the Learning Challenge the toolkit includes the Reading Challenge, the Writing Challenge and the Mathematics Challenge. The main aim of the Learning Challenge is to help pupils improve their organisation of themselves and of their learning. Through this they will be better equipped to take advantage of what is offered to them in lessons.

The Learning Challenge is a flexible 'little and often' intervention which will fit with the other aspects of intervention programmes to help support learning and raise achievement.
