Excellence in Cities (EiC) tackles the particular problems facing children in our city schools. Through a combination of initiatives, it aims to raise the aspirations and achievements of pupils and to tackle disaffection, social exclusion, truancy and indiscipline and improve parents' confidence in city schools.

History

The Government introduced EiC in three phases from March 1999 to September 2000. The Hull EiC Partnership was a phase two programme and became operational from September 2000. It did not come on the scene with a big bang but gradually evolved as key people were appointed to posts. The full complement of staff was not in place until April 2002 although the majority of co-ordinators/managers were in post by July 2001

EiC is based on four core values:

There are 8 key strands to the EiC programme: Learning Mentors; Learning Support Units; City Learning Centres; more Beacon Schools; and Specialist Schools; EiC Action Zones; Gifted and Talented and Excellence Challenge.

For more details about individual strands please go to individual links.

For more information about EiC nationally please go to DfES link.
