The EEF guide to supporting school planning: A tiered approach to 2020-21 aims to support school leaders for this academic year 2020-21. It proposes a tiered model that focuses upon high quality teaching, targeted academic support (including tutoring approaches) and wider strategies to aid school leaders’ existing school improvement planning efforts.

The EEF recognise that school leaders and teachers will face significant demands on their time as they manage a full-time return to school for all pupils. The needs of pupils and staff are heightened by the logistical challenges of providing safe school sites and more. This guide has been developed alongside a range of EEF Covid-19 related resources. These include support resources for schools and resources to share with parents.

The EEF strongly recommend that school leaders consider how these additional resources can supplement their existing planning efforts.
