B&C Beal Education Consultancy 2021/22 (077)

The mission of the Barnsley Alliance is to promote a cohesive approach to improving education. The goal is that everyone works together to ensure the very best education outcomes for children and young people in Barnsley.

The Barnsley Alliance is a strategic partnership between early years settings, schools, academies, colleges, and the local authority. Its purpose is to raise the quality of education and improve outcomes for children and young people across Barnsley.

The Alliance employs two school evaluation officers through the local authority to determine school improvement across the borough for the primary sector. Unfortunately, the team lost a member of staff (death in service), therefore needs to align Brian Beal to carry out the important role of school evaluation officer to help maintain Barnsley's strategy in risk assessing schools so school improvement and curriculum catch up work can continue.

Brian Beal is an experienced Education Consultant from the Barnsley area so has local knowledge and context. Brian has previously undertaken work across our schools on several occasions for the service.

Initially the service agreed to Brian working 25 days to cover 15 days school improvement work and 10 days to support school risk assessment work. Due to no appointment being made of the school evaluation officer we therefore may need to align more days to Brian in the future of 75 days, so this will be a total of 100 days to cover the academic year. The number of days are estimated and could be reduced based on service requirements.
