The updated Teachincambs website training sessions went well last week. Attendees all left feeling they understood the system, many commenting that it was really easy to use. My thanks to all those who attended for their feedback and suggestions which I will be investigating soon. Please do keep in touch if you have any questions about the site or its content.
Lynne Birch, Schools Engagement Adviser.

Last week all schools were emailed the updated Local Authority Critical and Major Incident Guidance, together with a covering letter. It was sent as a PDF and as a Word Document. Some schools and academies have reported that the Word attachment was deleted or quarantined. It would appear that some of the language associated with critical incidents is picked up by email monitoring systems. If you having difficulty accessing the Word version please contact me directly and we will try to get it to you. Hopefully you will find the guidance helpful in updating or reviewing your current plans and the Word document templates which you can download and adapt may be helpful to you.

Senior Adviser for Leadership

This report - available to read and download here - recommends a tiered approach to spending the Pupil Premium.
Crucially, we want to strengthen the ways it is used to recruit, retain, and develop great teachers for all children. Targeted support for struggling pupils should also be a key component; as well as strategies that relate to important non-academic factors, such as improving attendance, behaviour, and social and emotional support.
Engagement model EOI
Last autumn, DfE announced that a new statutory assessment will be introduced in the 2020/21 academic year to assess pupils working below the standard of the national curriculum and not engaged in subject-specific study at the end of key stages 1 and 2. The engagement model will replace P scales 1 to 4 and is based on the ‘7 aspects of engagement’ model.
To support the implementation of the engagement model, the DfE have committed to producing a detailed guidance and training package for schools to be delivered through a cascade, ’train the trainers’ approach. More information will be available once the development of the package is under way.
Please remember that the KS1 and Phonics data needs to be submitted to the LA by Thursday 27 June. Please make sure that any leavers are included in your file for KS1. The Phonics Threshold will be made available on Monday 24 June. Please note that pupils who did not reach the required standard of phonics in Year 1 must retake in Year 2.
The file produced from your MIS system should be in CTF Format. The file should be uploaded to the S2S website by selecting ‘Upload CTF File’. The file should be named:
873XXXX_KS1_873LLLL_NNN.xml or 873XXXX_PHO_873LLLL_NNN.xml (where XXXX is your schools DfE number and NNN is the file number).
Any problems, please contact Maria Clough on 01480 379869.
