remember a single Challenge Adviser actually giving me a menu of support and saying needs to “I can’t ‘oracy improve, and here is A, B, C for and this is a list of a few schools that have good practice in you’ ‘here, this’. – Primary School Headteacher, Carmarthenshire. menu of support really needed is have we seen this had “The isn’t tailored. What’s ‘where before’, ‘who’s similar challenge and what did they can we go and meet to talk it Secondary School do’. Who through.” – Headteacher, Pembrokeshire. It is clear that schools strongly believe that the Menu of Support is clearly not tailored enough for schools. Among all the schools that actually discussed menu of Support verbally their view ERW’s was unanimous that the menu of Support was too general, as a Primary Headteacher from Swansea put it – think the menu of support is really about us being given what can be provided, rather than being provided “I what we really need.” No positive statements/comments were made regarding the Menu of Support. Even so, as we can see when looking solely at the Headteacher Feedback Analysis statistics below, 91.89% of respondent actually believed that they had in fact received a relevant Menu of Support.
