Education Consortia - Education Achievement Services (EAS)

One of five regional education consortia and partnerships in Wales who work with schools to raise standards and provide a range of support, which includes professional development and intervention programmes.

The Educational Achievement Service (EAS) is the school improvement service for the five local authorities in South East Wales: Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Monmouthshire, Newport, and Torfaen. The EAS is a not for profit company limited by guarantee which are the five local authorities.

Vision and values

Our vision and values guide everything we do in our day to day practices and interactions with our key partners, the wider educational community, and our employees.

 

What will the EAS do to achieve our vision?

All schools will be able to access a universal offer of professional learning support in each of the following areas: School Improvement, Leadership and Teaching, Curriculum for Wales, Health Wellbeing and Equity and School Governors which are intrinsically linked. As well as a holistic professional learning offer, this will include a set number of days to work with their School Improvement Partner (SIP) and a professional dialogue with the EAS and local authority to agree and or amend improvement priorities and support requirements as part of an annual professional discussion.

 

In addition to the universal offer, schools will be able to access specific and targeted support as determined through ongoing professional discussion with their SIP and in line with their school improvement priorities. This professional learning support may be related to a task and finish activity, an option for further work with their SIP or an option for peer working.

Bespoke support will also be available for schools who require more intensive support. This could include more support from the SIP or the use of a Learning Network School to School Partnership.
