  • Local authority: Stoke-on-Trent

Context

  • Focus on an LA where a number of Hard to Shift schools have gone above floor target.
  • How much is attributable to the systematic/effective work of the LA?
  • What worked and why?

The LA is Stoke on Trent, which is part of the 'Three Cities' Project. This case study, although it includes school specific data as an illustrative technique, focuses not on the perspective of the individual schools, but on the actions of the LA in supporting and challenging the Hard to Shift schools in the LA. The consequent progress that the identified schools have made can be directly attributed to the systematic work of Stoke on Trent LA.
