COVID-19: Support for Schools The Education Space
The Education Space remains open for business and we are taking Government advice on isolating vulnerable members of staff and implementing working from home arrangements. We have tested our working from home capacity and technical capability. Every team is able to operate off site. We aim to keep the building open with reduced hours on-site, 8am - 4.30pm. Schools will still be able to contact staff for support during our normal working times. We will be postponing on site training activities and reviewing these arrangements at what should be the beginning of the summer term. Where schools remain open and meetings are booked on school sites these will be reviewed together with the school concerned either continuing on site or by telecon. Our priority is staff well-being to enable us to keep all essential functions operating as seamlessly as possible.

Soofia Amin has been an ESOL lecturer since 2000 and has worked in Adult education for the past 13 years in Newham. She has been teaching a variety of levels in ESOL and has been involved in developing assessments. Currently Soofia is working at Kensington Primary. She joined the school in 2014 and leads on EAL, Mid-phase Admission and Community Engagement. Her role includes managing the mid-phase process, ensuring provision for EAL pupils is effective and that all EAL pupils are making good to outstanding progress. She also ensures parents have the support needed at school to help their children with their education. This is provided through maths, literacy and parenting courses. Kensington Primary has a high mobility rate and over 90% of mid-phase admissions are from abroad. Their Ofsted report in 2016 cited: “The large numbers of pupils, who join the school at different times of year, often with very little English, make rapid progress. This is because the support for pupils who speak English as an additional language is superb. These pupils become fluent readers and writers and are able to tackle the same work as their peers within 11 months of starting school. For example, the winner and runner-up in a debating competition with local schools were both non-English speakers when they started at Kensington Primary.” Inspection report: Kensington Primary School, 12th—13th July 2016 To find out more or book on to the specific course please contact: noori.khanom@ttlt.academy Access to the network group, plus two training sessions is £249.

PROGRESSION IN PRIMARY SCIENCE The new Ofsted framework recognises that good primary science happens when the curriculum develops children’s knowledge progressively, drawing on and extending from what has already been learned. In Science, the content knowledge builds towards the big ideas: key concepts which underpin scientists’ understanding of the world. We will explore this progression through a range of practical and paper-based activities from the disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology. This course will support both subject knowledge and understanding of curriculum progression in Primary Science over two sessions (one whole day and one half day).
COURSE AIMS: Participants will consider progression in learning across aspects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology refresh their own subject knowledge explore ways of teaching some key concepts
