3HACKNEY LEARNING TRUST

WELCOME

Hackney is regarded as a borough with rapid improvement, sustained achievement and innovation across a range of education activities.

With over a decade of experience working with Hackney schools and academies, we are proud and committed to supporting schools locally, across London and nationally. An ever increasing amount of our work now comes from outside Hackney.

Speaking at our 2013 annual education conference, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said that strong leadership is vital in building outstanding schools. He cited local authority support, like that provided in Hackney, as a key factor in a school’s success.

Our team of educational specialists draws on Headteachers, senior school leaders, subject specialists and experienced business support staff. We have developed a centre of excellence with a critical mass of expertise and invaluable experience in services ranging from school improvement to child well-being. We want to share our knowledge, skills and expertise to help you meet your school’s goals.

Operating on a not-for-profit basis, our focus is to achieve positive meaningful outcomes rather than profits. Any trading surpluses are re-invested into maintaining and improving the quality of our services and customer care.

We have excellent levels of customer satisfaction.

Our services have been developed with schools’ needs in mind. So whether you are looking to develop leadership in your teachers, improve your IT infrastructure or require educational psychology support, we can help.

Accelerates reading levels for all children at Key Stage 1.

The Daily Supported Reading Programme is a classroom programme that helps to move all children on in their reading. It is delivered initially to Year 1, then introduced into Reception and then for lowest attaining children in Year 2 for maximum impact across the school. It helps children make accelerated progress by working with trained adults in small groups matched to their independent reading levels. This method has a proven track record of success in raising school reading standards as KS1.

SErVICE pRoVIDEDThe programme provides a coherent and systematic approach where children enjoy daily independent reading in small groups (no more than six) led by a trained adult.

The programme includes: • one half-day training session for all staff who will be working with children

(or whole-school training) • one half-day training session for the Project Co-ordinator to support

implementation • programme materials to structure independent sessions with daily reading

Training programmes for professionals, school staff, pupils and families.

Schools can be stressful places for staff and students. Tests and examinations create anxiety. Some students find it difficult to sustain their attention during lessons; they become difficult and disruptive. Mindfulness can reduce anxiety, improve attention and aid concentration. It makes it easier to stay calm, manage challenging emotions and improve academic performance.Mindfulness is the awareness that emerges by directing attention towards events in the present with openness and acceptance. Rather than worrying about what has happened, or what might happen, it trains us to respond skilfully to what is happening right now; to respond rather than react. Mindfulness may be learnt through training provided by the Educational Psychology Service (EPS).

“When our school recently flooded, we suffered considerable damage to a number of classrooms, offices and our main reception area. Our Server room and two servers were also damaged, but thankfully, we had recently made the decision to invest in hLT’s online backup service. They were able to recover our data and, crucially, our finance and pupil databases to new servers. We didn’t lose anything! I highly recommend hLT IT and value the service they provided us with during such a difficult time for the staff and pupils in our school.”Deirdre finan, Headteacher, St Dominic’s Catholic primary School

Training school governors in order to drive a school forward to excellence.

School governors need to be trained professionally in order to perform their complex roles effectively. They have both statutory responsibilities for key aspects of a school’s activities and a moral duty to support pupils’ educational attainments and well-being. They need to be in a position to challenge the Senior Leadership Team’s strategies and policies constructively, without interfering with their operational control.A successful governing body can play a key role in driving a school forward to excellence. Our training programme can help you achieve this.We offer specialist training for new governors on key aspects of the role. Our programme is wide ranging and is great value for money.

PUBLICATIONS

The Securing Good or Better programme has been developed by teaching, learning and behaviour specialists from the Hackney Learning Trust. It has been recognised as an example of innovative practice by both schools and the Department for Education. The programme enables staff to develop and implement strategies to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. It provides a structured approach to understanding the features of best practice in teaching and learning and supports staff to identify and implement change. The programme also enables staff to consider how teaching and learning is underpinned by the five domains of emotional intelligence. It provides the tools for establishing reflective learning communities to enable staff to share best practice and support each other to embed and maintain improvement.The programme guidance is supported by three DVDs. One DVD details how to implement each phase of the Securing Good or Better programme. The remaining two DVDs provide illustrative examples of quality first teaching across a range of year groups, with extracts from discussions with outstanding practitioners. The DVDs also include examples to illustrate how behaviours and structures within the five domains of SEAL underpin good or better practice.
