Challenge Award Schools Network Group:
3 February 2026Free online network group meeting for schools accredited with the NACE Challenge Award
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 Challenge Award Schools’ Network Group is an opportunity for members from accredited schools to: - Meet other Challenge Award-accredited school leaders;
- Share thinking to further develop high-quality practice for more able and challenge – including policy, approaches, provision and resources;
- Share a case study to showcase effective practice;
- Contribute to NACE’s ongoing research initiatives;
- 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.
Sessions take place termly and are facilitated by Christabel Shepherd, NACE Challenge and Curriculum Development Director, who has herself been a More Able Lead and led schools through the NACE Challenge Award.
