Notice Title

Evaluation of English, computing and MFL curriculum Hub programmes

Notice Description

Expressions of interest are sought to conduct an overarching evaluation of three Department for Education (DfE) curriculum programmes: English Hubs, Modern Foreign Language (MFL) pedagogy Hubs, and a programme of work on computing, a key element of which is delivery via Hubs. This evaluation will help the Department to understand how well these programmes are working, and improvements that can be made both during the life of these programmes, and for potential future programmes using a similar approach. A key element of this is a National Centre and 'Hub' model, where Lead Schools deliver support to other 'Supported' Schools. Recognising that there are commonalities in the way the national centre and Hubs models will operate, and in the implementation timescales, the DfE invites Expressions of Interest to deliver a cost-effective evaluation across these programmes. The evaluation will focus on the implementation of the programmes, with key aims of: * Understanding how the national centre and Hub models are working and being implemented; * Monitoring how contractors deliver effective strategies for strengthening English, computing, and MFL; * Establishing whether the programmes have resulted in changes to teacher confidence, workload, and in classroom practice. Please note that the deadline for EOIs is 12pm, Monday 30th July 2018. Additional information: Please note that the deadline for EOIs is 12pm, Monday 30th July 2018. The word limit for EOIs is 1,000 words
