Secondary schools selected to take part in ‘Wales Challenge’

Forty secondary schools across Wales have been chosen to take part in a £20 million government programme to improve performance.

The Welsh government says the schools have been picked using a range of performance data. It said the schools’ potential to deliver swift and positive improvements for learners had also been taken into account.

The 40 “Pathways to Success Schools” will be able to access proven expertise in order to deliver a package of support that is tailored to meet the needs of their learners.

The project, part of the Schools Challenge Cymru programme, has been inspired by similar schemes in England.

Targeted support will also be provided to participant schools’ cluster primaries in a bid to address challenges at the earliest opportunity and improve transition between key stages of education.
