How are trusts within our community using IRIS Connect?
Hales Valley Trust
HVT is made up of 5 primary schools that each range from one to three-form entry, including nurseries, with varying levels of deprivation within their communities.
Their schools have vast differences in socioeconomic backgrounds of the children, school sizes, and location and have used IRIS Connect to make sure every student has access to the same quality teaching, despite where they come from or what their background is.
More specifically, HVT have used IRIS Connect to:
- Develop a culture culture across the trust where staff have autonomy and control over their own professional development
- Make better use of coaching sessions by using video evidence to tailor and focus conversations
- Build libraries of best practice to onboard and upskill teachers
This has resulted in improved student outcomes. E.g. one of their schools, Woodside Primary School, have seen a 20% increase in reading and writing at the end of key stage 2.
“The impact of IRIS Connect has been phenomenal.”
Kerry Burns, Deputy Headteacher, Woodside Primary School
