The third virtual Action Research session takes place Monday 22 May 9.30-11am.
The slides and recordings from both previous AR sessions are available on the WELL website.
We look forward to welcoming all the schools that attended session 1 and 2 to session 3. We also look forward to seeing those schools that were unable to make session 2, due to last minute challenges. From a WELL perspective, we really benefit from having as many of you there as possible.
Reminder

This can be coordinated with attendance at a Universal (1-3pm) or Targeted (9-11am) Grant Offer workshop. We can offer lunch to anyone attending both the Action Research and an Implementation workshop on the 27th June.

Wellbeing Cluster funding
Thank you to the clusters that have returned their evaluation for the cluster funding focus.
When completing posters, please focus on evidence of impact of pupils and staff taking part. We recognise from these received so far that these are a work in progress and we look forward to updated posters as the projects become embedded.
We look forward to receiving the remaining cluster evaluations before the end of this half term.

Unfortunately, we have received communication this week from the Ed Psych team, that due to LGR and staff capacity challenges, there will not be an ELSA training cohort this academic year.
We are working to find solutions to this and will keep you updated.
