Following our highly successful conference Journey to Outstanding in November 2013, Hackney Learning Trust is delighted to be hosting our second conference Wellbeing and Achievement – Getting The Mix Right. At our conference last year, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw said that strong leadership is vital in building outstanding schools and cited local authority support as a key factor in Hackney’s success, a borough regarded as one with rapid improvements, sustained achievements, best practice and innovation in education. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge and experience. As a not for profit organisation, our focus is on achieving meaningful positive outcomes and building partnerships with schools. We look forward to welcoming you on 19 November.

OBJECTIVES and Opportunities
Children with higher levels of emotional, behavioural, social and school wellbeing have higher levels of academic achievement and are more engaged in school. These are the findings of a report * on the impact of pupil behaviour, issued by the Department for Education in November 2012, and of many other studies on the impact of pupil behaviour and wellbeing on educational outcomes.
Explore the definition of wellbeing in schools.
Over the years Hackney Learning Trust has found that improving the all-round wellbeing of pupils and staff has been crucial in lifting the performance and attainment levels. At local level it has been a key factor in transforming the educational performance of a borough which has seen some of the most improved and sustained academic achievements in the country. This conference will be led by internationally renowned experts who will explore the definition of wellbeing in schools, the enrichment of the education environment to support learning, the link between health, wellbeing and achievement, and how you can implement strategies to ensure every child receives educational support to maximise life chances.
Learn effective strategies on how to improve the wellbeing of students in order to support achievement. Hear practical ideas about how to build confidence and resilience in the classroom for both teachers and pupils. Discover ways to strengthen the ethos of wellbeing across the school community. Find out ways to improve the wellbeing of your staff. Question our expert speakers on their experience and the issues your school is currently facing. Benefit from networking with colleagues by discussing ideas and sharing best practice.
Who should attend? The conference is for all of those involved in school leadership and associated educational decision making processes, including: • Headteachers • Deputy and Assistant Headteachers • Local Authority Education Leaders • School Governors

Character and Resilience Angela Scattergood, Head of Early Years and Play, Hackney Learning Trust There is a growing body of evidence linking “character and resilience” to educational achievement, employability and social mobility. Traits such as empathy, self-control, delayed gratification, mental toughness and the ability to make and maintain relationships impact upon our capacity to persevere and overcome setbacks. What does this mean for our children and young people and for us as educators?

Interventions for Hackney Children at Risk of Social Exclusion Stephen Scott, Professor of Child Health and Behaviour at King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, and Director of the National Academy for Parenting Research. Evidence has shown that parenting interventions can improve the behaviour and raise the reading ability of primary children at risk of social exclusion. The role of parents and use of classroom based behaviour programmes are fundamental in ensuring we lift the life chances of children and young people.

Fair Society, Healthy Lives Sir Michael Marmot, Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London Evidence shows that disadvantage starts in childhood and accumulates throughout life. The early years are vitally important for future life chances and health. Much can be done to improve equity from the start of life if a coherent policy approach is followed that takes into account the social determinants. This momentum of progress in the early years must be maintained throughout later childhood and adolescence. The school community has a powerful role to play in the context of the social determinants of health.

03. Stoke Newington School A case study in Year 6/7 transition
Rachel Thompson and Claire Tregear
Gillian Carr, Niall Doherty and Mary Straw
How is good or better teaching underpinned by Daniel Goleman’s five domains of emotional intelligence? How can teaching and learning be improved by supporting teachers to identify and implement the five domains within their teaching? This workshop aims to explore how the Securing Good or Better professional development programme can improve quality first teaching through effective implementation of these five domains of SEAL.

Here you will learn what methods and projects have been set up to ensure the wellbeing of children has been considered before taking those next important steps to secondary education.
02. Pupil Wellbeing and Attainment
The Progress Process uses an online diagnostic to monitor the quality of relationships between and among staff and students, then uses the resulting data to involve the whole school community in shaping strategies that will enhance wellbeing and make learning great for everyone. Developed with 90 schools in England, Progress is currently being trialled in Finland.
Nadia Sica How do multiple dimensions of wellbeing simultaneously predict later changes in educational outcomes for children and young people? This workshop examines how various dimensions of children’s wellbeing are associated with their educational outcomes and explores ways school leaders can support pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development to raise overall levels of attainment. It will focus particularly on curriculum delivery and the role of PSHCE.
04. PROGRESS for whole- school wellbeing James Parker
In this workshop you will: • Explore and discuss the importance of great relationships to great learning. • Discover how involving staff and students in data-informed conversations can lead to cost-effective ways of enhancing relationships for learning. • Gain insight into how you can use ongoing feedback and reflection processes to make your school a selfimproving system.

06. How can maths enhance pupils wellbeing
Michelle Thomas
Sian Davies
As Pupil Premium funding reaches its highest level, the challenge for school leaders is how to show that their intervention spending decisions have supported the achievement of this group and had impact at all levels.
Through the development of the Primary Advantage maths programme, the team discovered that learning mathematics extends beyond learning concepts, procedures and their applications. The teaching approaches that form part of the programme include developing a disposition towards mathematics and seeing mathematics as a powerful way of looking at situations. The workshop aims to share some of these ideas in a practical way, focusing on:
This workshop will support you in running your own Pupil Premium Review and stay one step ahead. We will look at successful strategies for the use of your Pupil Premium funding that support your learners and ensure you deliver the greatest impact in terms of their achievement and wellbeing.
• Collaborative learning, harnessing the power of dialogue to support and enrich the learning experience. • The learning dispositions of selfconfidence, curiosity, collaboration, resilience, tolerance, flexibility and respect. • Embracing concrete learning opportunities which cement children’s understanding.
