How challenging are Teach First schools?

Posted by Editors EduBusiness, In The News, Secondary Education, Teach First Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

We thought we’d look a little closer at exactly how challenging Teach First’s schools really are.

That TF teachers are working in schools that need them is made much of in TF’s literature. In the Summary Information Return 2009 Of Aims, Activities and Achievements for Teach First TF declares its “mission is to address educational disadvantage” with “the main beneficiaries of the programme…the pupils taught by Teach First teachers in some of England’s most challenging…schools.” While on their website they make repeated reference – we counted at least three pages of search results – to the challenging nature of their schools.

In the media, too, it is believed that TF “trains graduates to teach in struggling inner-city schools”, and “recruits graduates to teach in inner-city schools”,

To find these most needy 240 schools (see below), TF takes into account:

1. where schools have more than 50% of their pupils living in the lowest 30% of the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI – percentage of children that live in families that are income deprived i.e., in receipt of Income Support, Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Working Families’ Tax Credit or Disabled Person’s Tax Credit below a given threshold). In other words, the IDACI measures the proportion of children under the age of 16 in an area living in low income households.

2. and where 5+ A*-C GCSEs results fall below the lowest 30% of the national distribution

This doesn’t seem bad. Common sense would tell us that there has to be some kind of link between poverty and educational achievement. However the link between them has been proven to be complex – why do rich kids do badly/poor kids well at school if all you need is affluence? – and such a connection is arguably of real significance only at the extreme end of the poverty scale.

It could also be argued – and is – that, ultimately, TF and other education reforms of recent times are simply window-dressing on a problem with deeper causes rooted in the underlying structure of society. Poverty then isn’t the only cause of underachievement neither is it necessarily the primary cause of educational disadvantage.

It appears then that TF is perhaps right to bang on about how they recruit the best graduates and place them in deserving schools, but it is asking a lot of new TF teachers to do something about the vicious structures that cause and keep on causing this educational disadvantage in the first place.

It is, of course, still the case that TF teachers are working at schools where GCSE results may be below average. There they can at least try to do something about other non-poverty factors leading to underachievement and so fulfil the TF mission anyway.

But, again, taking an average like this leaves a lot to be desired. As we know, averages are just shorthand for more complicated and nuanced information. For example, a good secondary modern with open selection would expect to have an average lower than a selective school. Yet it is true that they could have future Russell Group undergrads among their pupils.

With such a mix of students it is clear how TFers could be deployed. They could be given the star pupils in school top-set while the difficult kids are given to more experienced staff. This also very nicely solves another problem for schools, that of older staff on higher and more costly salaries. Having to work with the unruly is not good for morale or stress levels, and the knock-on effect is that the more experienced staff member not too far off early retirement will leave as soon as possible. This deprives pupils of a quality member of staff but very neatly reduces the wage bill.

Another problem with using GCSE results to gauge school need for TFers, is that it isn’t applicable at primary level. For even with child prodigies, primary pupils don’t normally sit them.

None of this seems to fit with the charity’s mission to address educational disadvantage. Poverty isn’t directly correlated to educational underachievement. The measures used to assess for need are questionable e.g. primary kids don’t take GCSEs. And recruiting newbies and losing experienced members of staff is hardly to a pupil’s educational advantage.

But what is really eye-opening about TF’s approach to challenging schools is the complete and utter mismatch between TF schools and schools that are truly educationally disdavantaged i.e. those on special measures.

By end of 2009, 251 English schools were deemed be subject to special measures. That is,:

1. failing to give pupils an acceptable standard of education, and
2. the people responsible for leading, managing or governing not demonstrating the capacity to secure the necessary improvement.

To us special measures seems a pretty clear and straightforward measure of educational disadvantage. A school is either failing or not. If it is, the pupils are disadvantaged and TF – as a charity on a mission to address this – should be involved. The problem with the TF measure of educational disadvantage – the IDACI – is that it is about poverty, as much as anything else. And as we have noted poverty isn’t a proxy for educational disadvantage but one of many potential contributory causes.

According to OFSTED, the 56 secondary schools subject to special measures at the end of 2009 were:

Abbeydale Grange School – Sheffield

Of these special measures primary schools, only 1 – Yardleys in Birmingham – appears on TF’s list (and we’re not even sure if that is one and the same school!). In other words, that’s only one school from roughly 170 primary schools in England that have been deemed to be critical.

It would seem then that TF isn’t addressing educational disadvantage as well as it might. In fact, you would have a strong case for arguing that TF isn’t doing it at all.

It would also seem that TF’s mission is slightly different to what is painted. For example, TF’s mission could be said to be as much about giving future blue-chip company recruits a few life skills for a couple of years and reducing blue chip tax bills at the same time while – and this is the best part – having future employees’ training paid for by the UK taxpayer.

Meanwhile, due to TF, schools can reduce their wage bill. They can offload experienced but expensive staff and recruit cheaper but undertrained TF newbies – instead of employing fully-trained and qualified NQTs as they ought to. It also enables school managers and the government to get around current wage agreements.

All the time, lastly, the very real yet very complex reasons of structural origin for educational disadvantage remain untouched. And why should we expect anything else when those very same blue-chip companies who fund TF would stand to lose profits and influence if the underlying causes of inequality were tackled head on.

It appears then that TF has some questions to answer as the suspicion grows that this ‘charity’ is nothing but a rather clever recruitment and training agency for leading multinationals, with convenient spin-offs for managers looking to lower costs, and not really at all about raising levels of achievement of disadvantaged pupils in challenging situations.
