Standards and School Effectiveness - raising standards in Hertfordshire Schools

The core purpose of Standards and School Effectiveness (SSE) is to:

  • primary children on a wall Promote achievement for every child and
    young person
  • Ensure a good early education for
    every child
  • Provide a good school for every child
  • Narrow the gap in attainment and wellbeing

The transformation of the service has placed achievement at the heart of the services that we provide, maintaining expertise in secondary and primary phases, ensuring a focus on underachieving groups and signalling the importance of new strategic partnerships for the future.

Hertfordshire has a well established team of consultant Headteachers, many of whom are National or Local leaders of Education. We also have many other good and outstanding Headteachers whose skills and expertise contribute enormously to the success of Hertfordshire schools overall. We have successful experience in facilitating partnerships between schools and providing peer to peer and school to school support. This approach will provide a firm foundation for supporting schools for the future and we will be looking to develop these networks of expertise further.
