 Deep Dive Forum

WHAT IS A DEEP DIVE FORUM?

Just as the Academy Committees (ACs) are a driver of improvement within each academy, the Deep Dive Forum (DDF) is a driver of improvement between each academy.  However, the Deep Dive Forum is not an accountable body like the AC.  Instead, it is a chance to scrutinise and understand areas of practice common to both schools in much more depth on a regular basis, giving those involved much greater insight into key areas of our schools’ work.  It is also a forum for sharing ideas and collaborating.  The key features will be:

  • A schedule of “Deep Dive” topics will be calendered throughout the year – eg Pupil Premium, Safeguarding, Progress of More Able Students.
  • Each school will present in detail their work for each area and members will be able to scrutinise and compare ideas.
  • Recommendations can be made for areas that schools could collaborate.
  • Any members of either AC can attend the DDF.

 The DDF will convene once a term.  The Chair of the DDF will share outcomes with the Trust Board and each AC to summarise best practice, areas for development and areas for future collaboration.

The ACs will formally report to the Trust Board as an Accountable Body.  The DDF will share information back to the Trust Board and also to each AC so that the best findings are shared to help each school.  We refer to the DDF as a Supporting Body as it provides support for school improvement.
