We have identified five key success factors for recruitment by Facilitation schools
Build a structured process and be clear about the timeline
• The recruitment cycle runs from September to March
• You should identify events and opportunities within that period when you can engage with prospective targets and plan early (e.g. Head Forums)
• We would be grateful for regular updates on progress - we will aim to arrange meetings with you to discuss your recruitment plan in the coming year
Identify targets and engage with them early
• Aim beyond the target to allow for attrition
• Early engagement will maximise ability to move targets through the process
• Choose targets carefully – those with high Pupil Premium and attainment gaps are most likely to join
Use all the resource at your disposal, from the top of the organisation
• Try to use resource at all levels of the organisation
• Heads can be very effective advocates – involve them in the development of your plan to maximise their engagement
• Try to encourage Lead schools to help with recruitment and use their networkBe consistent and clear in your messaging
• We have created a set of marketing messages for use (refer to p18-23)
Employ a robust and effective recruitment process
• Record every interaction with target schools
• Classify their level of engagement to help determine next steps and prioritise efforts (high, medium, low prospect)
• Ensure an action point emerges from every discussion so as to create opportunity for further engagement
• Set deadlines for follow up to build momentum
• Share progress and ask for support from Challenge Partners where required

Targets: There is a potentially attractive segment of “Good”/“Outstanding” schools with a volatile gap
ILLUSTRATIVE “Ofsted is really crucial as so much hangs on how the disadvantaged children are performing. The schools most receptive to this message are those in danger of falling from “good” or “outstanding”.”
Programme Lead, Facilitation School
“Being “outstanding” is about continually evolving. A school needs to demonstrate that it is dealing with Pupil Premium in an effective way. Those schools would naturally be attracted to CtG.”
Programme Lead, Facilitation School
“A school with a low proportion on FSM is quite vulnerable as each individual child counts for a huge amount. Your data over time is going to be variable. With CtG you can demonstrate that it might fluctuate, but that you are doing a serious piece of work.”

Resource: A question remains as to whether the current Lead school fee structure is appropriate
•Currently Lead schools receive a small payment for participating in the programme, regardless of how successfully they recruit or execute the programme
•Some Lead schools are not effective at recruiting to the programme; most benefit equally from the programme as Accelerator schools do
•It may be more effective to provide Lead schools with a discount for each school they recruit to the programme, but to still charge them to participate in the programme

Next steps: We’ve produced a draft how-to guide that needs further project management to complete
HOW-TO GUIDE NEXT STEPS
• Objective to produce short, sharp document that can be used to train Facilitation Heads/Leads to recruit effectively
• Content focused on “how-to” vs. collateral
Contents items:
• Tips for success
• Messages – which are important
• Common questions/challenges and responses (TBD)
• Overview of marketing materials (TBD)
• “CRM” notes page (TBD)
• Case studies of success of sale e.g. Blackpool (TBD)
• Playbook requires further project management to completion:
- Align internally on guide preliminary content
- Distribute draft to Facilitation Heads and Leads and solicit feedback
- Collate feedback and incorporate into final internal draft of specific content (“copy”)
- Brief copywriter and coordinate production/printing
- Distribute to Facilitation Heads and Leads
- Plan and run training workshop
- Run planning meetings with Facilitation Heads and Leads
External expertise to be utilised, requires internal sponsor to drive to
completion

Backup: Draft common questions/challenges for how-to guide
The programme only impacts the target cohort
The programme has the ability to impact the whole school through rolling out of the learnings of staff members involved in the programme
The programme may not raise attainment of pupils
Preliminary evidence suggests up to 5 terms improvement in 3 amongst the target cohort, in addition to strong evidence of improved attendance and engagement
OFSTED are happy with our Pupil Premium spend so we don’t need the programme
The programme will further improve pupil outcomes and has received strong informal feedback from current and former Ofsted inspectors
We don’t have a problem with an attainment gap
The programme can benefit all pupils in a school, as well as enable greater staff development and collaboration with other schools
We don’t have many Pupil Premium pupils so the programme won’t give us value for money
The programme cost is a fraction of Pupil Premium funding and has been shown to dramatically increase student outcomes even in schools with low amounts of Pupil Premium students
We can’t afford the staff time to participate in the programme
The programme enables staff to develop their skills as well as to feel more empowered to tackle educational disadvantage. Feedback from schools and staff has often been that the time commitment has paid dividends
We don’t want to travel large distances for the programme
Some schools have reported that they prefer to travel further as it improves the variety of ideas that they are exposed to. Where distances are large, it is often possible to rotate the venue of the cluster/trio meetings to share the travel load

marketing messages
Importance (hypothesis)
Five broad themes with specific key messages2
PUPIL OUTCOMES
NETWORK FACILITATION
• Case studies of individual impact (schools or children)
• Evidence of “soft” measures i.e. lives as well as attainment
• Potential to impact all FSM pupils in school
• Attainment data
• Leadership development opportunity (staff become leaders within schools on pupil premium)
• Staff feel more empowered to address disadvantaged children
Decreasing
• Programme facilitates stronger links between schools that already work together e.g. feeder schools
• Also Provides possibility to work with other schools outside of usual network
STAFF DEVELOPMENT
Source: School interviews
• Uniqueness of programme content
• Flexible/ tailored nature of programme delivery
• Focus on school collaboration/ “joint-practice development” to drive improvement
UNIQUE PROGRAMME OFSTED RATING
• Ability to directly impact Ofsted rating (vs. indirectly through attainment)
• Examples of schools which have been impacted positively
• Danger of schools losing high ratings

“Challenge the Gap provides schools with practical tools and strategies to break the link between poverty and poor outcomes and to drive long-term
performance improvement. Working collaboratively, CtG is about thinking big, starting small and scaling fast to have a far reaching impact and make a lasting
difference.”
Importance (hypothesis)
Five key themes contribute to a proposed new core message and three sub messages

Each sub message is supported by a number of further detailed points
• CtG works- On average, pupils in the target cohorts made 5 terms progress in 3- Loyalty demonstrates effectiveness – 83% of schools from the second year are continuing to a third- It has a positive impact not just on the target cohort but on the whole school – 30% of leaders said they had seen an
impact after just one term, rising to 67% after four terms - It’s not just about seeing a different set of results. It is about seeing a different child. Pupils on the programme become
more engaged, self-starting and empowered
• CtG has a unique approach- The program is a practical, tailored and research-led model that builds in-school expertise in collaboration with other
schools - The programme is structured to create tools and processes for each individual circumstance - It is evidence-based, reviewing and refining activities half-termly and tracking progress across a range of parameters
termly- It focuses on building competencies specifically relevant to pupil premium pupils – academic competence, self-awareness
and resilience- Once the evidence base is established, the program is designed to be cascaded quickly across the school- It is built on a foundation of school to school learning, whereby schools are able to learn from others’ experiences and
jointly design improvements
• CtG has far-reaching benefits for participating schools- The program works across all levels at the school to deliver a lasting transformational impact on staff and their ability to
tackle educational disadvantage- CtG believes that long-term solutions need to be driven from within. That means taking a non-hierarchical approach to
work with leaders, teachers and para-professionals to create a cohesive in-school programme- Collaborating with other schools builds powerful and enduring networks - Working on the program helps model the leadership of the future

“It’s not only about closing the gap in terms of figures, it’s challenging what the gap is through challenging the underlying behaviours. It’s changing lives as well as gaps.”
Head teacher, Facilitation School
“Schools respond very well to case studies of schools that have succeeded by being part of the programme. It’s useful to bring it to life.”
Programme lead, Facilitation School
“We’ve had to massively emphasise how you can roll it out to the rest of the school. Schools want to know they can impact more than just the target cohort through the programme.”

Staff develop-
ment
“If there is one unique selling point it’s how you up-skill your staff. Schools react well to equipping their staff with skills to address Pupil Premium, and train others too.”
Programme Lead, Facilitation School
“The staff development is incredibly important. If you get it right it will be so embedded in the school, you won’t even know it’s there.”
Head teacher, Facilitation School
“We would need to know that teachers have found it useful and that is has an impact on their practice. The involvement of the para-professionals is also a big plus. They are often not involved in taking a lead.”
Head teacher, Accelerator School
“We liked the structure of the project. The structure was really quite appealing and we hadn’t seen it before. The fact that you work with other schools was great. It looked really attractive to us.”
Head teacher, Accelerator School
“I chose to sign up to the programme because it was relevant. It involved working with the nearest secondary school and it looked like a good programme. It fitted with the work we were doing.”
Head teacher, Accelerator School
“The integrity of the programme was good and it fitted with our ethos. We like to work collaboratively. It just appealed as a programme in itself.”

Network facilitation
“Many schools won’t be exposed to school to school learning and collaboration. They recognise that it’s a useful thing to become involved in.”
Programme Lead, Facilitation School
“We knew that the programme would facilitate even closer collaboration with the secondary, which was a good thing.”
Head teacher, Accelerator School
“We were already working closely with the schools that we signed up, we even share a couple of staff members. We knew this would help for collaboration.”

Ofsted rating
“The programme is a useful box ticked for Ofsted. You know how it is going to look on the development plan.”
Head teacher, Accelerator School
“Ofsted is really crucial as so much hangs on how the disadvantaged children are performing. The schools most receptive to this message are those in danger of falling from “good” or “outstanding”.”
Programme Lead, Facilitation School
“You are under the pressure of Ofsted continuously, it’s important to deliver on the attainment of disadvantaged children. The school wasn’t in an Ofsted category, but possibly would have been if it had had an inspection. We needed to address that.”

• Membership of Challenge Partners
• Facilitation of ITP/OTP
• Membership of other regional Challenges

Source: DfE schools database; Challenge Partners data; ONS; OLEVI
• Most schools are in urban areas due to a weighting placed on geographical density; we believe that these areas would be the easiest to grow the programme in the first instance
• All schools identified are in areas with significant need, due to the importance placed on having schools with large amounts of FSM pupils and gaps (incidentally, many existing Facilitation schools rank very highly in this analysis)
• We recognise that the suitability of schools will in many cases largely be determined by individual factors and context, but hope that this analysis serves as a useful platform to further prioritise

Suggested next steps: Agree approach and select schools to on-board to the programme
•Challenge Partners should align internally on relative priority of this expansion vs. new routes to market
•Challenge Partners should recommend and seek sign-off on approach from Management Board on June 25th
•It is suggested that Challenge Partners invites each Facilitation school to suggest 3 schools that they would like to work with, and then to assign each school with a new school to on-board through shadowing/adoption of a new trio

Alternative routes should be prioritised further with likely approach identified (1/2)
Local authorities
• Particularly important to appeal to schools in an Ofsted category, these will simultaneously be closed to outside involvement but under high influence of LA
• Local authorities under increasing pressure to address educational disadvantage
• Local authority messaging is repeatable and sphere of influence is high
• Prioritise local authorities to target
• Design presentation to use with local authorities
• Schedule and conduct local authority pitches (educationalist preferable)
Regional Ofsted HMIs
• Ofsted may hold schools directly accountable for any attainment gap and suggest interventions (e.g. Wootton Bassett)
• Call/meet with relevant HMIs to ensure awareness of the programme (educationalist preferable)
Pupil Premium champions
• Champions specifically brought in to advise on Pupil Premium expenditure and hold high degree of influence
• Call/meet with relevant Champions to ensure awareness of the programme (educationalist preferable)

Suggested next steps: Challenge Partners should agree priorities and plan approach for each route
•Challenge Partners should align internally on relative priority of addressing new routes to market vs. targeting new Facilitation schools
•Challenge Partners should agree relative prioritisation of different routes for short-term focus and define the pitch for each specific channel
