<p>We will publish both the number of schools that were made an offer of support,
the number that accepted the support, and the methodology used to determine eligibility
for the Opportunity North East’s ONE Vision Schools programme in due course.</p><p>The
ONE Vision programme aims to improve outcomes for young people at key stages 4 and
5 in 30 secondary phase schools. We selected Ofsted Requires Improvement (RI) as the
single indicator to identify the long list of secondary phase schools in scope to
become a ONE Vision school and, by exception<strong>, </strong>Ofsted Inadequate schools.
We then shortlisted schools using a comprehensive review of their performance data,
pupil demographics, Ofsted history and intelligence from local authorities and trusts
on which schools were priorities for support. We made an initial offer of support
to 32 schools, of which 30 accepted.</p><p>The support that each ONE Vision school
receives will be bespoke to their individual circumstances. It will be determined
by an analysis of need comprising an External Review of Governance, undertaken by
a National Leader of Governance; a Financial Health Check, undertaken by a School
Resource Management Adviser; and a School Development Review, undertaken by a National
Leader of Education or other high performing school leader. This analysis will identify
the schools’ main priorities for improvement.</p><p>The following table shows the
number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all state-funded mainstream schools in the
North East who are in the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment 8 scores, and (b)
attending ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of Attainment
8 scores.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number of pupils in North East

</p><p>The following table shows the number of pupils in 2017/18 (a) attending all
state-funded schools in the North East who are within the region’s lowest quintile
of capped GCSE point scores, based on their best eight entries, and (b) attending
ONE Vision Schools who are within the region’s lowest quintile of capped GCSE point
scores, based on their best eight entries.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Number

</p><p>It is a goal of the ONE Vision programme to build capacity in these 30 schools
so that they are able to support other schools in the future. To ensure that the ONE
Vision activity does not adversely affect schools that are not participating in the
programme, we will continue to speak with local authorities and trusts as part of
our monitoring activities to understand what impact ONE Vision is having on the wider
community. We will also continue to monitor the performance of all schools across
the region.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Quintiles are based on pupil ranking rather than school
ranking. As more than one pupil can have the same attainment score, more than 20 percent
of pupils can have scores in the lowest 20 percent.</p><p>[2] Region figures cover
achievements in state-funded schools only. They do not include pupils recently arrived
from overseas.</p>
