    Primary 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.

    Isle of Wight - Primary and Secondary Network (Isle of Wight)

    On the Isle of Wight, and in Hampshire, children experiencing disadvantage do not achieve well. This includes pupils eligible for pupil premium funding, and those pupils who have received the support of a social worker. 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. This includes a focus on the use of pupil premium funding. 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.

    The network is open to both primary and secondary colleagues in order to enable cross-phase conversations.

    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 per term.

    Spring: 6 February 2024 (09:30 - 12:30)
