Lockdown Learning: how schools are supporting families

Following the publication of our report The Cost of Learning in Lockdown, the Cost of the School Day team is excited to invite you to a one hour online session about supporting families during school shutdowns and the transition back to school.

This session is for anyone who works in a school including teachers, administrative staff, support staff, pastoral staff and senior leaders. It will equip you with a deeper understanding of how poverty impacts families and the ways school closures are affecting families across the UK. We will share some of the findings from our survey of 1300 children and young people and 3600 parents and carers.

There will also be an interactive discussion where you will be able to meet and collaborate with staff from other schools. We will discuss the challenges and solutions that different school communities have found.

There are currently two dates to choose from for this session, please register through our Eventbrite page.

  • Monday 6 July 2020 at 3:30pm
  • Wednesday 8 July 2020 at 5pm

If you have any questions, please contact Fabienne Crocket: fcrocket@cpag.org.uk

Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games has developed some exciting new learning resources to inspire school children in Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 to design their own mascot, which could go on to become the official icon of the Games. 

The curriculum-aligned lesson plans cover the history of the Commonwealth Games, the role of mascots in major sporting events and the values of Birmingham 2022. The resources encourage children to get creative and become “mascot makers” by designing a mascot for the Games that is youthful, diverse, dynamic and creative: everything that the region stands for.  

Designs can then be entered into a national competition to win amazing prizes including tickets to the Birmingham 2022 opening ceremony. The best entries will inspire the Games’ official mascot. (closing date 5 August 2020)
