Head Start Programme – Vavi Hillel @ Acland Burghley
Dear Parent/ Carer,
At Acland Burghley we acknowledge that the transition from year 6 to year 7 is a very important time in your child’s life. To help smooth the transition we offer a Head Start programme for a small group of pupils. This is before the Induction Day (Wednesday 25th June 2009).
The aims of this scheme are to make the transition to Acland Burghley an exciting and positive experience and enable pupils to become familiar with the school systems and routines.
The primary school teacher at your child’s school felt that your child could benefit from this programme, details of which are outlined in the enclosed leaflet.
Head Start Programme format:
• Target group will be identified in Y6 – statemented pupils?
• Team at secondary school will consist of SENCO, LSU staff, mentors and peer supporters and a lead teacher co-ordinating the programme.
• Parents and students will be invited to school to an information meeting
• Students will participate x mornings throughout June, July - Time tables
•
Head Start Possible content
• School timetables /class groupings• Finding my way around the school• Meeting relevant staff• School routines /expectations• Self esteem/confidence activities• Equipment for lessons
Assertiveness Skills Training – Claudia Noel-Michael EPS
Definition of Assertiveness• Assertion is the flexible pursuit of having our preferences met, our opinions
voiced, our emotions and beliefs honestly communicated in an appropriate way at the relevant time.
• (Dryden and Constatinou 2004)Why Teach Assertiveness• Helps children learn strategies to cope with bullying• Teaches children to think differently about themselves• Increase children’s confidence in social situations• Helps children to practice these skills in a safe environmentOccurrence of Bullying• OFSTED Tellus3 survey (Oct 08)• Annual survey of 150’000 10 - 15 year old children across 145 LAs asked questions
about the 5 ECM outcomes:• 39% said they had been bullied at school• 35% said that their school dealt with bullying well
Assertiveness Skills Training – Claudia Noel-Michael EPS
Criteria for selection of children
This intervention was offered to all schools in EP patch during annual planning meetings
Sencos were encouraged to target children with poor self esteem, poor assertiveness skills
and children who had been bullied or are at risk of bullying.
The sample
Each group consisted of 6 - 8 children in mixed years groups
One programme tailored to the transition of year 6 pupils to year 7

A pupil has to be discounted from all subjects. The reason that the number of discounted pupils is different for Maths and English is because discounted pupils achieved different levels for different subjects.

Research Findings 1 - Literacy
• Most children’s difficulties are highly susceptible to personalised intervention
• The amount of time does not in many cases have to be large for programmes to be effective
• “Ordinary”teaching does not help children with difficulties to catch up
• Programmes tend to work best when highly structured
Research Findings Literacy 2
• Good impact – sufficient to double the standard rate of progress – can be achieved
• Combining literacy support with work around self-esteem has proved very successful
• In the most effective schemes pupils maintain their gains
The most effective intervention programmes
1. Are delivered early2. Are systematic and structured3. Are designed to accelerate learning4. Are sharply paced5. Are frequent – e.g. 3 x 25 minute sessions per week6. Are time-limited7. Have built in consolidation back in the classroom
