Foreword

Dear Colleague,

I am delighted to be able to offer you, your staff and governors or directors this Continuing Professional Development Prospectus for 2017-18. The financial challenges facing schools (and the Diocese) require us to ensure that we provide what you need at a price that represents excellent value for money. You have our commitment that we will do all we can to support and add value to your school or academy in order to achieve outstanding leadership and Christian distinctiveness.

We can offer genuine expertise in a number of areas including: RE teaching and leadership; Collective Worship; prayer spaces; SIAMS preparation (including self-assessment, mid-cycle reviews and the governance oversight of the Ethos committee); British values; character education and the PREVENT agenda in a Christian context; parishes and schools working together; admissions and our comprehensive governor training programme.

I remain very positive about the opportunities that are emerging for the Exeter Diocesan Education Team. Our priorities for the future include developing support for principled Christian Leadership in partnership with the newly created Leadership Foundation. Exeter has joined with Truro and Bath and Wells dioceses to form a regional pilot that will give you unique regional opportunities to enrich your school improvement capability. The importance placed by the DfE on ensuring all schools teach Christianity effectively will be delivered through our Understanding Christianity resource pack training. Church of England Schools will be able to support the whole system in addressing this well documented national shortcoming.

We are always keen to receive suggestions for new areas of focus and would encourage you to email these in. I am extremely keen to work in collaboration to ensure that we avoid unnecessary duplication and wasted efforts and look to continue to develop our formal partnerships with Teaching Schools, Local Authorities, MATs and Higher Education Institutions so that we can collectively serve you better.

John Searson

Once you have submitted your booking form, we will e-mail you confirmation that you are accepted on to the course of your choice (unless the course is fully booked).

CANCELLATIONS

1.

While we understand that delegates sometimes have to withdraw at a late stage, we would be grateful if those who have to cancel would inform us immediately if they cannot attend.

We regret that when such late cancellations occur, it may be necessary to make an administration charge and recoup any costs incurred as part of a cancellation fee (this will depend on the nature of the course and the costs incurred). A cancellation fee of 100% will be made if cancelling within one week of an event, subject to the terms and conditions of the venue.

Most courses will have a minimum number of participants required to make the course viable, therefore bookings will close 7 days prior in order for a weeks notice to be given in the event of cancellation.
