School Improvement
The Riviera Model of School Improvement
This year has marked an important milestone for the Riviera Education Trust. Following Ofsted inspections of two of our schools, all three schools within the Trust are now proudly rated as 'Good' in all areas (since the last AGM). This achievement is a direct result of our strategic approach to school improvement, which continues to uphold the principles of the Riviera Model of School Improvement: relentless standards, inclusivity, vibrancy, investment, high expectations, rigour, and the celebration of success.
Key to these improvements has been our collaboration with external partners, including the English Hub, Maths Hub, and other local multi-academy trusts. These partnerships have provided invaluable expertise and resources, reinforcing our own rigorous monitoring and support systems.
We have placed a particular emphasis on early years and reading, recognising their foundational importance. Strategic investments in these areas have enhanced teaching quality and pupil engagement, laying strong groundwork for lifelong learning. Simultaneously, the development of robust leadership across our schools has ensured that these improvements are sustainable and impactful.
This year’s progress exemplifies the strength of our aligned autonomy model, combining a shared vision with school-level adaptability. Together, we continue to inspire every pupil and staff member to reach their full potential, reaffirming our commitment to educational excellence.
Looking forward we expect to see greater local involvement in our schools’ development through the use of our training school to provide trust-wide CPD to support teachers in delivering education that meets an ever-broadening range of educational need within our mainstream settings.
