The Centre for Education and Youth is creating England’s first-ever visual interactive map to show how schools collaborate with each other, and how each local authority in the country supports school improvement. As well as being practically useful to school leaders and others, we hope the data contributes to a national conversation about place-based education and levelling up. This builds on our Phase 1 report concerning Area-Based Education Partnerships (ABEPs).
The map allows users to see:
– the different forms of school collaboration occurring at the local authority level
– the role that local authorities play in driving school improvement
We have used a combination of websites, reports, and other resources to understand what is happening in all English local authorities. We know that these sources may not always give a complete and accurate picture of what is going on in local authorities. As part of this process, we have therefore made efforts to contact all local authorities, to verify the information in the summaries and request corrections and additional information, where needed.
