The Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, The Queen’s representative in the county, or one of her Deputy Lieutenants (DL), would like to engage with schools and pupils explaining, as part of their civic education, the role of the Lieutenancy in representing Her Majesty. This would include how a Lord-Lieutenant is appointed, how people are nominated for an Honour or Award and appear on the New Year’s Honours List or The Queen’s Birthday Honours List, and how an organisation can receive a Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS), or a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
The Lord-Lieutenant or DL will explain the objectives of an evolving monarchy in encouraging a vibrant British Society, and likewise the Lieutenancy’s objective to support and encourage the creation of a vibrant Cambridgeshire, and what students can do to play their part, and work to achieve the skills to be a responsible citizen.”
If a school would like to arrange a future visit by the Lord-Lieutenant or a Deputy Lieutenant, to speak to students as part of their civic education, they should email the Cambridgeshire Lieutenancy please – lieutenancy@cambridgeshire.gov.uk.

Suffolk & Norfolk SCITT, one of the country’s largest school-centred initial teacher training programmes, commissioned Relational Schools, in partnership with Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and the Open University, to carry out a five year longitudinal research programme, exploring the impact of a trainee teacher’s social and professional relationships on their success as a trainee and thereafter as a teacher. The research is set against the backdrop of a national challenge in teacher retention, which is particularly acute for early career teachers. The outcomes of this project are being shared at a meeting, Wednesday 6 March, 13.30 to 16.00. The following points will be included in the discussion:
- Become aware of the scope and initial findings from the project.
- Understand how teachers’ relationships can support their retention.
- Appreciate the potential of assessment tools and management practices to increase support for entrants.

In the Autumn we asked for your views about the co - produced draft SEND strategy. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their thoughts and ideas. The engagement process ended in November 2018. Since then all feedback has been analysed and pulled together.
The SEND strategy is now being updated in light of the feedback. During the next few months an action plan will be co - produced. A number of issues were mentioned many times by people taking part in the consultation These themes will be reflected in the action plan.
We hare holding a number of engagement workshops across Cambridgeshire and in Peterborough to help us to shape the actions in the three priority areas for the 5 year plan. Each workshop will last 2 hours and be open to the parents/ carers, members of the community and practitioners.

There is no doubt that appropriately qualified coaches can add considerable value to PE provision in schools, particularly where they can help to up-skill teachers’ technical knowledge in specific activities, but please remember they should support and not replace teachers in curriculum provision wherever possible.
Please refer to the recognised minimum standards for coaches working in school sport
In particular, it is vital that coaches are suitably qualified with a UKCC Level 2 award in the activity being delivered, and they have recent and relevant experience / CPD.
Please contact the CCC PE adviser for further guidance.
