The Hertfordshire Strategy for School Improvement

Children, Schools and Famillies (CSF) has developed a framework to make sure that it is well placed to respond positively to national proposals for children services reform and The Children Bill. Key to the future of CSF is the way in which it works with schools and other stakeholders to raise standards and promote the participation and engagement of all pupils.

The two documents which set out this framework and the Code of Practice, together with a Structure Chart for the CSF Standards and Schools Effectiveness Division, are all available for schools to view on Herts Direct:
