Governance
Accountability for achieving the key performance indicators that drive the place-based improvement plan rests with all of those collectively involved in educating Plymouth’s children but also with those who hold key roles in leading and implementing the plan.
Two key governance structures help maintain the plan’s strategic focus and its coherence, as well as monitoring and evaluating the impact of implementation activities ‘on the ground’ in schools in improving pupil outcomes: the Strategic Education Group (SEG) and the Place Based Strategy Board.
The new structures outlined below are also complemented by the existing school improvement infrastructure in the city in which a number of stakeholders and leaders play important roles, these include: the Plymouth Education Board (PEB), SEND and Inclusion Strategy Boards, the Plymouth Leadership Team (PLT) and others.
