Extension of the trust and school improvement offer
DfE is extending the focus of the department’s current trust and school improvement offer to any school or trust that would benefit from it due to disruption caused by COVID-19. Support will be provided by an experienced system leader and will reflect the specific challenges of the school or trust. This might include (but will not be limited to) supporting them to overcome:
- difficulties delivering remote education for those pupils who are out of school
- low pupil attendance rates
- significant staff shortages, including leadership
- any other factors which would put schools or trusts at risk of disruption caused by COVID-19

If you feel your school or trust would benefit from the support of a system leader, please contact the school improvement team.
DfE has also been working with school leaders to share case studies on developing and adopting flexible learning approaches. More case studies have been added and illustrate ways in which some schools have operated when faced with staff shortages.
