Norfolk Key Stage 2 Challenge

We are excited to introduce the Norfolk Key Stage 2 (KS2) Challenge, a sector-led initiative dedicated to raising outcomes for children at Key Stage 2 through promoting and enabling collaboration. 

Here you will be able to invite and discover opportunities to work with others, as well as access the work that is happening around the Norfolk KS2 Challenge. 

About the Challenge  

We know that schools thrive through active collaboration. We also know that there is a wealth of expertise already in schools across Norfolk in improving outcomes. This includes at EYFS and Key Stage 1, where the foundations for strong KS2 outcomes are laid. That is why one of the Norfolk Learning Collaborative's (NLC) key priorities is to promote collaboration that enables schools to benefit from the collective expertise and experience of others.

Through the Challenge, the whole system is being invited to share how they are contributing to improving KS2 outcomes and to consider how they could collaborate  to support one another.

Through whole system getting behind the KS2 Challenge, we can tackle together what has been a historic challenge in Norfolk. 

Get involved

Getting involved is easy. Whether you or your organisation have the capacity and expertise to work with other schools around a particular theme, could share how your school is working to improve outcomes or are looking to connect with others, the Norfolk KS2 Challenge wants to hear from you.  

Get in touch:

• If you have an area of expertise or experience which you would be happy to talk to others about 
• If you have an offer you can open up to others such as places on a network or spare CPD places 
• If you have an area of expertise you could offer to lead a collaboratative piece of work around 
• To ask a question of the wider system, for example 'How have other schools improved x...?" 
• To share what has worked for you in the past for improving KS2 outcomes 
• To share how you in your role you contribute to the KS2 Challenge- from TA to School leader 
• To share your goals for KS2 and how you are planning to achieve them 

The Norfolk KS2 Challenge has already benefited from generous offers from within the system which can be accessed now. Your further contributions will help this initiative to grow and enable more colleagues to directly benefit from collaboration which supports KS2 outcomes.
