The draft strategy sets out how Brighton and Hove Local Authority and schools will improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils aged 4 to 19 between September 2022 and September 2026. It focuses on six themes: leadership and governance, quality first teaching, targeted academic support, pupil voice and pastoral support, language and literacy, and attendance.
Recommendation
Implement the city-wide educational disadvantage strategy from September 2022 to September 2026, with the Local Authority and schools working through the Brighton and Hove Education Partnership, supported by monitoring, evidence-based interventions and targeted use of available funding.
Financial impact
£100,000 per year for five years has been secured to support the Anti-Racist Schools Strategy; £25,000 has been allocated to support development of the wider city-wide disadvantage strategy. Additional funding may need to be identified to lead and coordinate this strategy and fund specific projects and initiatives.

Finding the same decision in other councils needs semantic matching over decision
text, which is part of the search rewrite. Until then, the council's own decisions
list is the way through.
