There are 3 workshops in the course which focus on different aspects of expectations on schools to support school improvement and linked to the Education Inspection Framework. 

The course is open to schools who were last inspected between January 2017 to July 2017 or before. 

Schools and academies are invited to send three people to the first two sessions of this training which are face-to-face. We suggest these are headteacher, Chair of governors and another senior leader. The final session is online and additional subject leaders are invited to attend. 

This course is for Stroud Association Schools only.

These surgeries provide an opportunity for teachers to discuss any pupils they would like support to assess. Year 6 teachers can bring along children's writing evidence and work alongside the LA moderator, who will provide advice and guidance about assessment and next steps in learning, as well as anything else that may be useful (such as planning ideas, text recommendations etc.)

Each session is on a 1:1 basis so only one person can book each place but schools may send two teachers if there is more than one teacher in Y6. Please add the name of any extra delegate into the booking r ...
