School improvement service

Welcome to the home page of the School Improvement Service. Our service comprises of a number of sections who give support and advice in various ways to schools within the borough. Our staff are currently based at The Barnsbury Centre, but will be returning later in 2008 to Cambridge Education's Laycock Street offices. The Cardfields Environmental Study Centre is also part of SIS.

School Improvement Service comprises:

Primary Strategy

Secondary Strategy

Schools Plus: Every Child Matters inextricably links the standards and well-being agendas. To back this up Cambridge Education @ Islington has established a dedicated Schools Plus team, bringing together the Arts & Sports, Learning Plus , Healthy Schools and Extended Schools teams, all with a proven track record across the brough. Headed by David Wainwright this now sits alongside the Primary and Secondary teams within the School Improvement Service.

The fundamental aim of Schools Plus is to provide a co-ordinated service focusing on those activities that provide a rich school experience, and that support children and young people to lead safe, happy, healthy and succesful lives.
