The purpose of this training is to provide an update on the requirements in school especially in relation to the PSHE and Science curriculum. There is also an opportunity to provide additional support in the form of ideas, approaches etc. that could be implemented when teaching any aspect of RSE in both primary and secondary schools.
The programme lasts from February until July and comprises:
' A skills diagnostic given to colleagues to complete.
' 9 twilight face to face sessions to include: discussion of 'think pieces', practical tools and theoretical models for leadership, understanding the role of leading teaching and learning; identifying 'gaps' in student attainment and planning next steps back in school to close a gap; reflection on practice.
' Tasks to be completed back in school that are chosen by you to match your current areas of development and supported by your learning colleague (coach).

Support from the school:
It is important that your school leaders and learning colleague support your progress through the programme and following face to face sessions. A 'learning colleague' in school is a colleague who will be able to offer further advice and support to you. Please find out who they are! They may be a senior leader or another experienced middle leader. It is expected that together you will find up to half an hour between each face to face session to review and plan your next actions. We estimate this to be a maximum commitment from the learning colleague of about 5 hours across the programme. If there is more than one person completing the programme in school, then you may well be able to meet altogether.
Delivery:
9 twilight face to face sessions in 2015, all Tuesdays, 3.45 pm ' 5.45 pm, to include refreshments in the host school from 3.20 pm.
The first session will be held at Black Horse Primary School. Subsequent sessions will rotate around the other lo

SIMS Office User - Basic SIMS course
Some schools rely on only one person in the office to support and administer SIMS, so this course would be ideal where a school wishes to spread the expertise or delegate specific processes in SIMS to colleagues in their Administration team. The course is aimed at users with little or no exposure to SIMS.

TA Network: Unlocking English - Grammar
This network will support TAs to develop their subject knowledge in relation to the key English areas they may be supporting in school. The four sessions will focus on: grammar; phonics; reading and writing respectively. During each session we will explain key terminology; explore what progression looks like; discuss strategies to support teaching and learning (particularly that of less able children) and share ideas and resources. The sessions will be flexible and tailored to meet the needs of the group based on feedback/requests from delegates.
