and Efficiency Partnership. Bradford MDC has agreed to ‘host’ the project
on behalf of partners.
The network is looking to appoint a suitably experienced organisation to
undertake a two year project (starting around May 2010) to create a
region-wide ‘evidence bank’ of high quality research, validated examples
of projects and programmes that have already been demonstrably successful
in improving attainment and aspiration across the 0 -19 age range and that
can act as a clearing house for improvement support.
The project will also involve the development of a web based access to
this evidence base so that local authorities, individual schools and
groups of schools across the region will be able to access practice
studies, materials, research and data. Advice and support will also be
developed on the most effective use of these materials.
