Course Booking Information

All course bookings and confirmations for School Improvement CPD (*) are administered through the:

School Improvement Service Telford & Wrekin Council Darby House (6A), Lawn Central Telford, TF3 4JA

To book a place on a course, please complete the CPD Booking Form, and either:

Email: [email protected] or Fax: 01952 (3)85000

After submitting a booking form you should expect to receive the following via email:

confirmation of booking/s received by return, including notification of any courses already oversubscribed and/or unavailable

joining instructions approximately five days prior to the course (sent to the delegate/s and copied to the school’s administrator)

If you do not receive either of the above, you should contact the CPD Team on 01952 (3)80861 or (3)88682.

Cancellation Policy

All cancellations of course bookings must be made via email. Unfortunately a phone call cannot be accepted as a means of cancellation. All bookings will remain on our system until written confirmation of cancellation is received.

A charge of 35% (*) will be incurred if a delegate place is cancelled within 5 working days of the course date. The full course fee will be charged for any delegate who does not arrive for a course for which a place has been booked and not cancelled. In the case of extreme adverse weather conditions delegates who cancel their place via email before the course ends will not be charged.

All delegates will be required to sign the course register on arrival. Whilst we will make every effort, we cannot guarantee to accommodate delegates on a course for which they have not booked a place.

In the event that a course has to be cancelled, we will endeavour to give 5 working days’ notice of cancellation. Other than in the case of extreme adverse weather conditions, if a course is cancelled within 24 hours of the course start time, we will refund any supply costs incurred. Any claims must be made in writing and must be accompanied by full documentary evidence.

Courses offered by teams and services other than School Improvement: Courses offered to schools by other teams are also advertised within this booklet. Where booking procedures and contact details are different for these courses, this information is contained at the front of the relevant section.

Notes: Delegate Fees: Whilst we will make every effort to not do so, we reserve the right to increase the delegate fees during the year to reflect any inflationary price increases in either room hire and / or catering. (*) for courses which are free of charge, or inclusive within a service level agreement (i.e. the NQT Support Package or the Safeguarding SLA), the charge for any delegate failing to attend, and not cancelling their place in advance, will be £10 to cover administration and refreshment costs.

All delegate fees for academies, other organisations and for schools outside Telford & Wrekin are subject to VAT.

Complaints Procedure We provide a range of services to schools, including:

bespoke consultancy support and bespoke training

continuing professional development courses

a package of support for newly qualified teachers

As a service we are committed to:

dealing with complaints and concerns quickly and effectively, and

using the information received to review and improve our services

Sometimes we do make mistakes - if you are not happy with the service you have received from us we want to know. In most instances we would hope that any concerns can be resolved at the time - with the provider of that service. If, having done this, you still have cause for concern, please follow the steps below.

The formal complaints procedure has three stages:

Stage One

If you have a complaint or cause for concern, please contact Liz Smith, Service Delivery Manager, as soon as possible.

Email: [email protected] or Tel: 01952 380895

We aim to respond fully to complaints within 10 working days. If for some reason this is not possible, we will contact you to explain the reasons for the delay and let you know when you can expect a response. Most complaints will be quickly and successfully resolved at this stage.

Stage Two

In the unlikely event that you feel your complaint has not been successfully resolved we would ask you to contact our Assistant Director, Education and Corporate Parenting, Heather Loveridge.

Email: [email protected] or Tel: 01952 380800

We aim to respond to a Stage 2 complaint within 25 working days. If it is not possible to respond within 25 working days, we will write to you explaining the reasons for the delay and let you know when you can expect a response.

Stage Three

If you still feel your complaint remains unresolved, please refer to the Council’s Complaints Procedure – which can be found on the Telford & Wrekin Council website: http://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20077/complaints/34/the_complaints_process

Was it boring? Did it have nothing to do with real life? Do you feel least secure when teaching topics likes magnets, forces, simple machines and electricity in a fun and engaging way, or to provide explanations and models to help learners develop an understanding? Does your big picture have a few pieces missing? Do you worry that you might be giving learners incorrect explanations? Ant is not a physicist, but he learned how to teach physics very effectively using simple models, analogies and engaging (and cheap) activities. He won’t bamboozle you with irrelevant or impenetrable ideas - just fun, accessible and simple ways to engage in the physics aspects of primary science. Over the two workshop sessions you will have the opportunity to:

explore your ideas, and expose your misconceptions (we all have them!)

develop a clear vision of the big ideas and how they progress from KS1 to KS2 and beyond

practice techniques and activities to make the tricky bits more fun, develop an understanding at an adult level and explanations suitable for KS1 and KS2

Big questions you’ll be able to not only answer but show the explanation for!

Why doesn’t the earth crash into the sun?

How can we protect astronauts from sun burn?

How can I see sound?

Can you have a string telephone group chat?

Does sound always travel at the same speed?

What is electricity?

How does cameras work?

Why don’t birds get electrocuted on power cables?

And lots more ….! Key Outcomes

Course Tutor: Ant Snowden Venue: TBC Course Content “Are teachers’ expectations of literacy and mathematics as high in science books as they are in English and mathematics books?... there are three core subjects in primary and secondary; if any of these three underperform it will bring down the overall judgment” Ofsted Science HMI January 2017: It is not uncommon for writing in science to be a record of learning rather being an effective tool to move a learners thinking on to the next level. The process of scientific and mathematical enquiry have few major differences:

Does pupils’ written work show consideration of purpose and audience?

Is it used effectively to consolidate and extend learning gains?

Is it used as an effective and challenging dialogue?

Are maths skills mapped effectively into science schemes?

Are opportunities to develop and apply maths skills in science learning context fully exploited?

Do intended learning outcomes reflect an integrated approach to learning?

Understanding the different elements of school funding (formula funding factors, pupil premium, early years funding, post 16 funding, etc) and what influences the level of each element

Course Content

This training looks at best practice that should be adopted when recruiting and selecting adults to work with children and young people.

It sets out procedures and strategies to help those involved in the recruitment process to deter, identify and reject applicants who are unsuitable to work with children and young people. It also seeks to strengthen safeguards by helping to deter and prevent abuse, with the aim of creating an environment where concerns can be raised on poor or unsafe practice.

Understanding the different elements of school funding (formula funding factors, pupil premium, early years funding, post 16 funding, etc) and what influences the level of each element

Looking ahead - to what extent the future levels of your school funding be predicted and planned for.

Delegates will be provided with (or can bring) details of their own schools funding - the course is intended to cover the actual elements of school funding rather than just general principles.

Course Tutor: Rebecca Carey Venue: TBC Course Content Digital technology is continually changing and therefore it is essential that schools stay up-to-date with new developments. Within the Ofsted framework, online safety is included as an important part of a school’s overall safeguarding responsibility.

Guidance for Ofsted inspectors to use when inspecting safeguarding under the common inspection framework outlines that when:

Inspecting how effectively leaders and governors create a safeguarding culture in the setting, inspectors should consider evidence that:

action is taken to ensure that children are taught about safeguarding risks, including online risks

staff, leaders and managers oversee the safe use of electronic and social media by staff and learners and take action immediately if they are concerned about bullying or risky behaviours

appropriate filters and monitoring systems are in place to protect learners from potentially harmful online material

Online safety is categorised into three main areas of risk Content: Being exposed to illegal, inappropriate or harmful material Contact: Being subjected to harmful online interaction with other users Conduct: Personal online behaviour that increases the likelihood of, or causes, harm Key Outcomes This course is designed to ensure that governors are informed about the issues and resources available to enable them to best support and challenge school leaders about their responsibilities to safeguard and educate young people about how to safely use online environments.
