Innovation

Support us to remain at the cutting-edge of sector needs

At Challenge Partners, we are practitioner-led in everything we do. Since launching our strategy in 2023, we have innovated and simplified our suite of programmes and networks to respond to shifting student and sector needs. This includes introducing:

• SEND Developmental Peer Review – our pioneering programme to improve special educational needs provision in mainstream schools
• Middle Leaders’ Quality Assurance Review – builds subject leadership capacity and professional practice across the sector
• Strengthened support for school trusts, which now educate almost 40% of state pupils

The continued support of funders and partners will enable us to sustain ‘everyday excellence’ and innovation within our programmes and networks so that they remain at the cutting-edge and respond to the evolving needs of pupils and the sector.

This could look like:

• Funding an external evaluation and thematic analysis of the insight we are gathering through our SEND Developmental Peer Review, capturing examples of novel teaching practices to be shared with education leaders and policymakers in innovative multimedia formats
• Support us to strengthen our network of local Hubs as drivers of area-based collaboration and improvement through Hub improvement project, through targeted independent research, development of our hub toolkit and strengthening hub leadership
• Investment in ongoing innovation to respond to sector shifts and priorities, and the changing needs of teachers, leaders, and communities
