Learning for Well-Being and Achievement
NCB policy priority for 2010/11
NCB’s focus is on learning for
well-being and achievement: through staff development, pupil voice,
the curriculum, the school environment, and school accountability
and improvement. We believe that schools should be at the heart of
their communities, meeting the diverse needs of children and
families, acting as a channel to enable families to engage with
their communities and access the services they need, and picking up
children who may fall behind.
NCB is campaigning for:
- Support school and academy leaders, governors and teachers to
promote pupil well-being
- Make every school and academy a safe school
- Retain and improve the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in
early years settings and maintained primary schools, and ensure it
applies to academies
- Entitle every pupil to a curriculum that promotes personal as
well as academic development
- Encourage schools and academies to tackle education
inequalities by working with other agencies to assess, identify and
respond to the pupil’s educational, health and welfare needs
- Make every school and academy accountable in a range of areas
that support educational attainment
- Develop and promote participative approaches in schools and
academies
