Cost of the School Day Coventry Drop-in Sessions | CPAG
Over the past two years, the UK Cost of the School Day project has been exploring how children living in poverty experience and participate in school activities.
On Tuesday 1 March 2022 we will be publishing our latest report, The Cost of the School Day in England: pupils’ perspectives. The report highlights what has been found from speaking directly with more than 4,500 children about the ways in which school costs including expensive trips, resources, uniform and more impact on their experience at school. The research shows how poverty is a barrier to full participation at school, but also celebrates the steps schools are taking to ensure that education is equitable.
We would therefore like to invite you to our online webinar on Tuesday 1 March at 12:30 – 13:45pm where we will be launching the report and sharing the findings, along with hearing from some of those who have been involved in the project. The session will include examples of good practice and key recommendations for education policy makers so please do share among your networks.

I am writing with details of the Sutton Trust Summer School that is taking place at the University of Warwick this year. The Schools are open to high-achieving Year 12 students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and comprise a fully-funded residential hosted at the university.
There are various different streams that students can choose to participate in: for languages, they can opt for the ‘Colonial Hangover’ stream, which we are running in collaboration with colleagues from Politics, International Studies, and Liberal Arts.
If you have any students that you think could be eligible and interested, please encourage them to apply. Questions should be directed to warwicksummerschools@warwick.ac.uk.

These one day workshops offer children the opportunity to explore peace in the context of wider global concerns. They are action-packed days for a whole year group which can be used to kick start a theme or give children an opportunity to reconnect and relate with each other. Each theme connects with the PSHE curriculum, Rights Respecting Schools Award and Sustainable Development Goals and is underpinned by the pedagogy of Educating for Peace - they are inclusive, participatory, engaging and help develop peacebuilding skills and awareness.

Also as part of the celebrations in the city we will give opportunities over several weeks for people to decorate 6 pink trees, placed in a number of locations around the city. Each leaf will commemorate or pay tribute to a woman alive or dead, someone inspirational. We would love your pupils to make some leaves to place on one of the trees, Is this a possibility, also we could offer a photo opportunity by a tree in a citywide promotion.
