Making sure that every child really does matter brings school leaders face-to-face with new challenges. This publication introduces school leaders and colleagues who have been finding solutions to these challenges.

These leaders believe that innovative system design can improve the achievements of children and young people in meeting the five outcomes of Every Child Matters (ECM).

Five case studies are used to highlight how some schools have been finding solutions to the challenges surrounding ECM.

  • Delaware and Callington - soft federation
  • Garforth - school partnership trust
  • Hailsham - town partnership
  • John Watson and Wheatley - co-location
  • New Charter - academy and community

Parts of these stories will resonate with some readers who might decide that elements of the solutions will translate quickly and directly to their own context.
