    • Embedding Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) within High Quality Inclusive Teaching (Primary and Secondary)

      Dates: 24 September 2025 - 25 March 2026

      Cost: Sub £355 / SLA £245 / Full £426

      Keyword Search: OAP

      The launch webinar is aimed at headteachers, please ensure that you share details of the webinar and meeting link with them.

      This programme aims to ensure best practice of high-quality inclusive teaching in all classrooms, all of the time.  Exploration of the recently published HIAS guidance: Ordinarily available provision and special educational needs and disabilities support, will be a key thread of this programme as we explore approaches to implementation across different settings.

      Sessions will provide opportunities to reflect on current practice, identifying strengths and next steps for your school to ensure effective implementation of high-quality inclusive teaching and ordinarily available provision. Throughout the programme, there will be opportunities to hear from experts from across educational services in Hampshire related to the specific needs of your school.

      Two people should attend from each school. The aim is that the leader of teaching and learning attends with a classroom teacher to facilitate an open dialogue about the school’s specific context and to enable change at both classroom and whole school level.

      Learning Outcomes

      • To deepen understanding of high-quality inclusive teaching and ordinarily available provision
      • To ensure effective implementation planning leads to impact on pupils
      • To secure enabling conditions for inclusion
      • To reflect on curriculum provision and short-term planning
      • To plan for adaptive teaching in action for a specific class or cohort
      • To deepen understanding of key priorities
      • To reflect on what has been learned, identifying next steps

      The course price entitles each school to bring up to two delegates to the sessions. Please register one teacher only on the Learning Zone. On confirmation of your booking, you will receive a link to register your second delegate.

        Supporting 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.

        Learning outcomes:

        • To secure understanding of local and national updates and the latest research evidence.
        • To gain understanding of the practical approaches being used by school leaders to drive improved outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.
        • To develop an effective pupil premium strategy based on research evidence.
        • To collaborate and network with colleagues.

        Delegates should attend one session each term.

          Keyword Search: Effective Breaktimes

          Increasingly, leaders are reporting a need to secure stronger practice at breaktimes and lunchtimes to ensure that pupils - particularly disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND - can be successful and effectively transition back into class. 

          The 2 part course aims to:

          • Share a range of practice from Hampshire primary schools.
          • Explore the pros and cons of different approaches and the challenges to implementation.
          • Support schools in developing breaktime and lunchtime practice that best meets the needs of their pupils.

          Session 1:  A virtual briefing, sharing practice collated from Hampshire primary schools.

          Session 2: A face-to-face session to reflect on learning, problem solve, share experiences and support schools in developing practice.

          Schools told us that the training was particularly effective when 2 delegates could attend from the same school to enable shared dialogue, reflection and implementation planning

          Learning Outcomes

          • To gain understanding of the practical approaches being used by school leaders to secure effective breaktimes and lunchtimes.
          • To apply this learning to your specific school context

          Having run the course previously and received really positive feedback from schools, we are running the course again:

          • for new schools who wish to get involved
          • for schools who have attended previously to enable wider staff to engage in the training.

              Keyword Search: Admissions Project

              This programme aims to support secondary schools in developing effective approaches to support pupils who join the school as part of an in-year admissions process with the goal of enabling better Key Stage 4 outcomes. Many schools have reported an increase in in-year admissions and the many challenges that this can bring, and the project brings the opportunity to collaboratively problem solve, working together to create increasingly effective transition approaches and ongoing support.

              This multi-disciplinary proactive approach is critical to meet the complex needs of many pupils who are in-year admissions - from the outset, if schools are to achieve success and rapid integration. Learning about the experiences of these pupils is also key to understanding the wider needs of all pupils and implementing whole school strategies to improve outcomes and experiences for all. 

              The project is a collaboration between: 

              • HIAS disadvantage and SEND inspector/advisers  
              • The Hampshire School Admissions Team  
              • The Virtual School  
              • Educational psychologists  
              • The Attendance Team  
              • The Specialist Teacher Advisory Service (STAs Team).  

              The course price entitles each school to bring up to three delegates to the session. Please register one teacher only on the Learning Zone. On confirmation of your booking, you will receive a link to register your additional delegates. 

              • Implementing an Effective Pupil Premium Strategy with a focus on Pupil Progress Review Meetings: A Practical Workshop (Primary and Secondary)

                Date: 19 November 2025

                Cost: Sub £235 / SLA £120 / Full £282

                Keyword Search: Effective Pupil Premium

                After well-received sessions in autumn 2024, leaders have requested further opportunities to engage in practical workshops focused on developing and implementing an effective pupil premium strategy. Leaders will reflect on the impact of the current pupil premium strategy, developing and refining approaches to ensure effective implementation and meaningful impact. 

                Leaders have also asked for a focus on effective implementation of pupil progress review meetings, and so this course offers the opportunity to explore this area in greater depth, unpicking what the HIAS Pupil Progress Review Guidance means for practice in your school.  

                For maximum impact, two people should attend from each school. The aim is that leaders attend with a colleague to facilitate an open dialogue about the school’s specific context. This may be a leader, governor, teacher or teaching assistant who has a strong understanding of disadvantaged pupils in the school’s specific context.
