C4EO theme: Schools and Communities

Schools and communities is the fifth theme that C4EO will be working on as part of its three-year work programme. The organisation leading this work on behalf of C4EO is the National Foundation for Educational Research. The theme lead is Sheila Stoney, Assistant Director and Head of Research, Evaluation and Information at NFER.

The theme priorities are:

• Narrowing the gap in educational achievement and improving emotional resilience (social skills and self-esteem) for children and young people with additional needs.
• All children and young people make sustained progress and remain fully engaged through all transitions between key stages and services, 11-19 yrs (25 for care leavers).
• Strengthening family well-being and community cohesion through the role of schools and extended services
