Schools and learning

National Challenge

The National Challenge is a programme of support to secure higher standards in all secondary schools, so that by 2011 at least 30 per cent of pupils in every secondary school will gain five or more GCSEs at A* - C, including English and mathematics.

Details of Hertfordshire's programme of support for schools which have not yet reached the target, are published on the Hertfordshire Grid for Learning and can be found by following the link on the right.
