The DfE Character Framework Guidance, November 2019 has been released.
The document is new non-statutory guidance to schools on character education and development for pupils.
It is intended for use by school leaders and teachers when considering the rationale for character education and some wider aspects of personal development, and the practicalities of provision and delivery.
Full day session on STEM leadership training takes place on 22 January at Coventry University. For most schools the cost is £99 to attend.
Running science on a budget on 4 December 3.30pm-5pm at St Bartholomew's
Middle leadership training (the days aren't linear but modular so leaders could attend some of the days if they weren't available for all. They are particularly good for relatively inexperienced and aspiring subject leaders.)
Computing - a full list of opportunities is available, including the below:
The primary and secondary core programme will be free for one teacher from each school in Coventry to attend with the schools receiving a £100 bursary for the first person who attends.
Computer Science Accelerator programme - this is a 40 hour funded CPD programme which is a blend of face to face and online CPD designed to train non computer science trained teachers to become fully accredited GCSE computer science teachers. There is a £220 bursary available for each day of face to face training which takes place, and accreditation takes place after passing a 30 minute online test.
From Spring 2020, a revised programme will be offered to up to 650 schools not already benefiting from the National Schools Breakfast programme, within key disadvantaged communities, including the Department for Education’s 12 opportunity areas.
Schools will be offered customised support according to their situation and needs, including start up grants and deliveries of healthy food to ensure every child who needs a breakfast receives one.
