Leading improvement using the Primary Framework: Guidance for headteachers and senior leaders

This is a reference document that informs the first phase of a professional development programme for headteachers on leading improvement using the Primary Framework. It also provides resources which can be shared with leadership team or with teaching staff in school at staff meetings. It sets out key messages, identifies guiding principles and offers models and examples of practice.

The programme is designed to help headteachers to identify howthey can use the Primary Framework as a tool to improve teaching, learning, curricular planning and professional development in mathematics and literacy in schools. The Primary Framework not only helps teachers to access resources and planning, but is also a tool to support school improvement and self-evaluation.
