Description

Derby City Council is working on behalf of the Primary Strategy Group and the local Opportunity Area Board by seeking tenders from interested parties who have a successful track record of providing school improvement support to teachers and which results in notable gains in progress and attainment for pupils.

• Lot 2 - Improving outcomes for children in Years 1 & 2 in Phonics
