Challenge Award School Experiences

Keep an eye out on this page for brilliant opportunities to visit NACE Challenge Award-accredited schools and gain unique insights and inspiring examples of effective more able policy and practice. Learn how the schools have used the NACE Challenge Framework to develop and maintain high-quality provision for more able learners within a whole-school ethos of challenge for all.

These immersive school visits include discussion on the school’s context and NACE Challenge journey, a learning walk and plenty of time for the opportunity to ask questions about the school and aspects covered earlier in the day, as well as questions about the NACE Challenge Framework and/or Challenge Award accreditation and reaccreditation.

Feedback from past Challenge Award Experience events

“Incredibly useful to see a Challenge school in action – especially at the start of our challenge journey.”

“Very thought-provoking presentations followed by seeing principles in action.”

“[I found] absolutely EVERYTHING [beneficial] – I have been able to take so much good practice. Just incredible.”

“I have taken so much from this 1/2 day – it will create discussion back in school. The teaching was fantastic, and it was not a ‘show’ for us as everything they do is obviously embedded in the school.”

“Excellent and knowledgeable staff leading the presentations with concrete strategies shared, based on research that we could then see in classroom practice.”

“Great to have the chance to hear the theory / pedagogy and then see it in practice.”
