Why does “Every Child Matter” to
schools?
Schools are central to the delivery of the five outcomes
and ECM targets
Feature of the new Ofsted Inspection framework
Has to be addressed in SEF and SDP, and will be
reviewed by SIP
Impact on services to schools and the community
delivered locally, usually in a school’s setting
Impact on Local Authority structures
Impact on the curriculum
Activity 1
Activity 2
Good strategy for involving governors and parents
Governors often more comfortable with this broader
agenda than simply raising achievement
Governors have key role to play in community
leadership – audit for extended schools looks at
community needs
Extended schools/locality working does not mean more
work for headteachers – school structures & workforce
reform will need to address this
