Invitation to join our next national SPP WEBINAR: Rethinking our approach to tackling disadvantage

Next month, we will hold the second of our free, open access webinars where guest speaker and Pupil Premium expert Marc Rowland joins us to explore the experience and research that forms the bedrock of our Focused Enquiry Framework on tackling disadvantage. Collectively, we'll challenge ourselves to explore how we can support young people at risk of underachievement in new ways and better understand some of the current themes and levers - and if you already practice peer review, how you might contextualise enquiry questions for peer reviews in your setting.

This webinar is open to all schools and education leaders. To attend, please register here for your free place.

Whole School SEND and Bristol City Council are hosting a training session 'Every Governor A SEND Leader' on Thursday 11th February and repeated on Friday 12 March.

This is a DfE funded project to support leadership of provision for children with SEND in Bristol. 

 The project includes a free training and development opportunity for governors, delivered by national consortium Whole School SEND.

 The training is particularly appropriate for Chairs of Governors, but SEND Governors, and other governors wishing to gain a greater understanding of this area of governing body responsibility are also welcome to attend. Led by Malcolm Reeve, National SEND Leader, WSS and Erica Wolstenholme, South West England Regional SEND Leader WSS, the session will focus on governor’s role in the leadership of SEND provision. It is designed to deepen governor’s understanding of:

• The Equality Act
• The SEN Code of Practice
• Pupil Exclusions and governor responsibilities
• Headteacher Standards in respect of Governance
• WSS Governance Review Guide
