Title A Journey to Outstanding

Course numberCPD15P/09

Description of CoursePlatt Bridge Community School in Wigan is an outstanding school leading a Teaching School Alliance in the North of England. Ofsted reported in 2013 that achievement throughout the school is exceptional. Serving an area of social and economic disadvantage, most of the children enter school significantly below expectations. At the end of KS2, many pupils have attained well above age-related expectations. This is due to a whole school focus on learning and progress which results in outstanding progress for almost all pupils in every year group.

The school opened in September 2006 after the closure of two failing schools. It was first inspected in October 2007 without any validated data from Raise and was judged to be good at this time. From 2007 to 2009 the school continued to improve, resulting in it being in the top one percentile in the country for value added measures and significantly above other schools for attainment, which has been sustained from 2009 onwards.

The Senior Leadership Team will present a detailed case study, explaining and sharing how they use proven strategies to ensure high quality teaching and learning, accelerated progress of pupils and enhanced leadership opportunities.

This is a repeat of the successful course that ran in June 2015, some of the feedback from that day included: “…provided simple but practical ideas to improve the quality of teaching and learning in my school” “…excellent, the LA needs to follow this route….”

Title Active Literacy Kit Training(Delivered by Dyslexia Action)

Course numberQ1015P/35

Description of CourseIntended outcomes for learners: Have an overview of the multisensory principles behind the Active Literacy intervention Know how to identify pupils and administer the placement test Be able to plan lessons and record progress Be able to carry out activities and monitor progress

Content of the course:As part of the Cognition and Learning Team’s initiative to develop support for children with Specific Learning Difficulties, we are offering training to schools on Dyslexia Action’s very successful Active Literacy Kit (ALK). The training will be delivered over three mornings by Dyslexia Action. We are offering a £300 package to schools which includes: Three mornings of training for two people, the SENCO and one experienced teaching assistant Two x Active Literacy Kits – each worth approx £100

What is the Active Literacy Kit (ALK)The ALK is a flexible ‘hands on’ multisensory phonic teaching intervention designed to develop and improve the retrieval of grapheme/phoneme links and so improve fluency in the reading and spelling process. Originally designed for learners with a specific learning difficulty, the ALK can also be used with younger learners, eg KS1 who have general phonic difficulties and secondary school age pupils. It was originally designed as a 1:1 intervention but can also be used in pairs and small groups as pupils progress.

ALK involves a series of short flexible practical tasks using cards and wooden letters, with timed activities, working towards target times, to show progress towards fluency. The ALK programme is highly structured with finely graded activities designed to build cumulatively with plenty of overlearning.

At the end of the intervention learners are secure in retrieval of grapheme/phoneme links for initial sounds and are able to read and spell CVC words. There are also extension activities to develop skills reading words with diagraphs and adjacent consonants.

Title Bar Modelling in Mathematics - A Tool for Representing Problems involving the Four Operations, Ratio and Proportion


Description of CourseIntended outcomes for learners: Pupils have a tool that can help them to represent the mathematical structure within a problem. Often referred to as 'Singapore Bar Model,' the model helps children to identify the maths within a word problem. Here is an example of a word problem that the Bar Model can help with:

You will learn how to identify pupils who would benefit from nurture group provision, how to fully assess their needs, set targets for improvement and develop a cycle of assessment and target setting.

Content of the course:The development of quality nurture group provision allows a school to accurately identify and support vulnerable pupils whose social, emotional and behavioural development is delayed.

In a nurture group setting children’s needs are identified and carefully assessed, targets for improvement are determined and a cycle of assessment is established to support an improvement in both behavioural and learning targets.

This is the National Nurture Group Network three day accredited course for both teaching and non-teaching staff who are currently working in, or hoping to work in, a nurture group setting in the future, and is essential staff training for schools with nurture groups who are seeking to achieve the National Nurture Group Network Quality Mark – a recommendation for all Bradford schools with nurture group provision.

Title Using Technology Effectively in the Early Years and Foundation Stage


Description of CourseIntended outcomes for learners: EYFS and KS1 pupils will have the opportunity to use a wider range of ICT in their learning.

Intended outcomes for participants:The participants will recognise simple yet effective uses of readily available technologies to engage learners in all areas of provision.

Content of the course:Supporting development towards the Early Learning Goals and potential for children to excel with technology, this course will consider the ELG and beyond statements. ELG children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes. Beyond the ELG children find out about and use a range of everyday technology. They select appropriate applications that support an identified need – for example in deciding how best to make a record of a special event in their lives, such as a journey on a steam train.

On this half day course we will introduce the Bradford curriculum and we will investigate how to make effective use of a range of technology, content, software and apps including whiteboard software, online content and tablet devices (specifically iPads) to impact on learning and development in the Early Years.
