The School Improvement Team works with schools facing challenging circumstances and those causing concern.  Working with schools and our partners we have developed a range of initiatives to support better ways of working.  

Our aim is to transform the delivery of education so that every pupil has the opportunity to reach his or her true potential. 

The site has information on schools causing concern (SCC), schools facing challenging circumstances (SfCC) and  Partnerships.  The Excellence section gives a wealth of information on the successful Excellence in Cities (EiC) policy.
