Ensuring the attainment of Black pupils is intended to support senior leaders in raising the achievement of Black pupils through self-evaluation and targeted action, closely integrated with other aspects of whole-school improvement. The key areas of focus are leadership and management, Data, the learning environment and quality-first teaching.

The guidance materials consist of a Management guide booklet and six units. The units provide guidance for senior leaders, professional development modules and additional activities and resources. Pauses for reflection and action planning are included in the guidance, enabling senior and middle leaders to identify priorities and areas to develop within whole-school systems and classroom practice.

The pack contains a CD-ROM showing how some schools are developing their practice in raising the attainment of Black pupils.

Each module contains an overview of the session, the intended audience, expected outcomes, a selection of activities to engage colleagues and an opportunity to review, evaluate and identify next steps.

The professional development modules are designed to be used selectively, depending on the priorities identified by the school. Each unit can stand alone, and the units are not sequential, although it is advisable to complete the professional development modules in the order suggested. The structure of the guidance is intended to support senior leaders to map their way through a training and development programme. The links between modules are also identified within the modules themselves.
