About this opportunity
Regional Improvement in Standards and Excellence (RISE) aims to break the link between young people’s backgrounds and their future success. At the core of RISE are the RISE advisers, who are educational experts with direct experience improving schools. RISE advisers work as part of a wider RISE team within the Department for Education (DfE). RISE grants will be issued as a part of targeted intervention, RISE advisers will engage with the eligible school and its responsible body to consider the school’s specific improvement needs, as identified through Ofsted inspections. Where appropriate, RISE teams will arrange for a high-quality organisation to work with a school to support improvement. RISE teams will be able to draw on funds to support this activity. Ofsted will monitor the school’s improvement progress, with RISE teams regularly reviewing implementation progress and engagement with the targeted intervention.
