@cstvoice.bsky.socialAlso published today is a new study by @impactedgroup.bsky.social, combining a review of existing research with fresh analysis of national school data. The Trust Effect report focuses on sponsored academies finding improvement across attainment, pupil progress, and inspection outcomes.
@cstvoice.bsky.socialIt shows the impact of school trusts is equivalent to 16,000 more students getting a Grade 4+ English and maths GCSE and 5,400 primary-age children reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths every year.
@cstvoice.bsky.socialNew research looking at nearly two decades of school data shows that schools that become academies improve more than other state-funded schools. CST's new Advancing Education report ranks schools year-by-year against national figures, cutting through changes over time in exams and inspection rules.
