The NACE Challenge Award provides external accreditation and recognition of school-wide high-quality provision for more able learners within a context of challenge for all. As such, designation as a Challenge Award school is an impressive and prestigious achievement, celebrating a school’s commitment to this important area of education. 

NACE’s new Challenge Award Schools’ Network Group is an opportunity for members from accredited schools to:

• Meet other Challenge Award designated schools;
• Share thinking to further develop high-quality practice for more able and challenge – including policy, approaches, provision and resources;
• Identify and address common goals and current priorities to sustain high-quality more able and challenge provision in the light of the ever-evolving education landscape;
• Share, discuss and provide mutual support for action planning in relation to the ‘next steps’ identified through the Challenge Award assessment process.  

Please note: these sessions are peer-directed and designed to be light and informal. Other than a short feedback survey, they do not include paperwork or recordings. The aim is to help you build connections and work with other Challenge Award-accredited schools to strengthen existing high-quality provision, through facilitated discussion and exchange.
 
Sessions take place termly and are facilitated by Christabel Shepherd, NACE Challenge and Curriculum Development Director and Vice-Chair of Trustees, who has herself been a More Able Lead and led schools through the NACE Challenge Award.
