Join the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Schools Webinar Series on Knowledge Hub to access a wealth of free expert webinars and other resources for schools. This series of webinars was originally developed by the Fenland and East Cambridgeshire Opportunity Area, in partnership with Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council. The resources published here are available to Schools and Early Years settings throughout Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The webinar entitled The Only Way is up! and `Ready to Learn' provides an honest, warts and all, account of how two ‘weak’ Fenland schools became strong ‘good’ providers of primary and nursery education, led by Rob Litten, Executive Headteacher.
He is joined by Nicky Froggatt to give an account of the impact the OA has had on their schools, and the more recent impact of the 'Ready to Learn' project with a focus on enrichment, engagement and wellbeing. This session includes honest reflections and lessons on school leadership. Access the webinar by clicking `Resources', finding the webinar and clicking the link.
