Evaluation of Fenland and East Cambridgeshire Opportunity Area School Improvement Programme

Tender description

The Fenland and East Cambridgeshire Opportunity Area, in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council, is inviting providers to design and deliver an evaluation of the Opportunity Area School Improvement Programme, which is a £1.2million programme focused on at least 21 schools across Fenland and East Cambridgeshire. The successful provider will need to demonstrate a strong track record in designing and delivering mixed method evaluations specifically focused on education, and will be required to have a strong understanding of primary and secondary education systems, as well as the specific educational concerns in Fenland and East Cambridgeshire. The successful provider will design and deliver a robust evaluation of the School Improvement Programme, focusing on the effect that this programme has had on participating schools, whether the methods used in the programme were successful and what lessons can be learnt for future similar programmes.
