    Tackling Educational Disadvantage Network

    This network aims to support primary leaders in developing meaningful, research-informed strategies to tackle educational disadvantage and to securely embed these strategies into day-to-day practice. Sessions offer the chance to share best practice and impact, with leaders learning from wider schools’ successes to address identified areas of need. As the network groups become established, sessions will be adapted, focusing on bespoke areas identified by the group.

    Sessions will provide the opportunity to:

    • Access national and local updates.
    • Engage in discussion about strategy and implementation.
    • Explore research evidence and guidance materials and what these mean in practice.
    • Share strategies across schools, working together to explore strengths and next steps.
    • Experience bespoke training in response to identified needs.
    • Network with other school leaders to enable ideas, questions, and approaches to be shared across schools.

    Delegates should attend one session each term.

      • High Quality Inclusive Teaching Programme (Blended)

        Delivered through a series of webinars and face to face sessions, this programme is aimed at teachers and leaders of teaching and learning to ensure best practice of high quality inclusive teaching in all classrooms, all of the time.

        What do we mean by high quality inclusive teaching? We will unpack this and the strategies that will benefit all learners and make planning, teaching and assessment even more effective. With broadening needs of our learners, we will explore how to use this to effectively inform planning for pupil success. Experts in their field will provide input tailored to your choice. During the programme you will reflect on the impact on your practice and have the opportunity to further share this within your school.

        Learning outcomes:

        • To gain a deeper understanding of high-quality inclusive teaching and strategies to enhance its effectiveness.
        • Use pupil profile data and your professional knowledge to help inform planning for success and see this modelled.
        • Deepen understanding of certain aspects of teaching and learning with expert input that you can put into practice in the classroom.
        • Reflect and network with other teachers to explore the opportunities and challenges in teaching.

        We are looking forward to exploring teaching and learning with your class in mind. Bringing class profile data will be helpful and planning for one class/subject.

        Programme dates:
        There are two programme streams, one will be based at a school in the north of the county, the other at a school in the south of the county.
