An evaluation of the early progress of the achieving Belfast and achieving Derry / bright futures programmes

The focus of this baseline evaluation falls within the three strategic priorities identified in the most recent report by the chief inspector, namely that: those with the responsibility for an individual’s education need to build more effectively on the skills, knowledge and attributes which the learner has developed in the preceding phase; those with the responsibility for an individual’s education need to help learners understand better the connections in their individual programmes of learning, and how that learning connects to opportunities for them and for their communities; and educational leaders need to be confident that they are including all learners and are working together to help them achieve their full potential.
