Welcome to Raising Achievement.
 
An organisation dedicated to supporting schools and parents to raise achievement for underachieving students.  

​2024 has been a year of growth and change. The hybrid model of face-to-face
training and online options is proving to be a valuable approach to accessing PLD in
ways that suit schools and individuals as they address the many priorities in the
education sector.
Our work will continue to focus on escalating provision in neurodiversity and all at-
risk student groups, including tier 2 and 3 students in 2025.  It's all about equipping
schools and teachers with the resources, skills, strategies and programmes as we
go about implementing new curriculums and embracing structured literacy.
2025 will see Improved outcomes and raised achievement to ensure students who
learn differently, and those currently underachieving, can truly reach their potential.

​

With this in mind we have revised our successful 2024 programme for teacher aides:
