Cluster Meetings 

Thank you to the clusters that have invited Dale along to a cluster meeting.

Dale would really value an opportunity to attend your cluster meeting as soon as possible. If this would be helpful to you to invite him, please email WELL@cumberland.gov.uk with possible dates and he will do his best to attend.

Dale, Sue and Patty are now in the process of going through implementation plans. 

A member of the WELL team will be in contact to confirm any follow up actions.  Once all documentation is in place, grants will be transferred to schools by ITAK payment (processed each Friday) or Journal payments (at the end of the month).

Sellafield Volunteers Programme 

Thank you to all the schools that attended yesterday’s RR volunteers sessions. We will confirm the next steps to you shortly.

Secondary Training 

Community Meeting

Today, you will receive your invite for next week's online Learning Community 16^th November 15:35 - 16:35. 

The Community meeting is a chance to share experiences since the Day 1 training and begin to identify any issues etc. The meeting is open to all, but is specially relevant to the teacher – leader/ coordinator. Please be prepared to share updates on your progress with the community group.

Day 2 Training 

Looking forward to seeing all the participating schools again at Energus on 22 November 09:00 -15:00 for Day 2 of this initiative, launched in July.

Andy has asked if all colleagues attending could please bring 2 or 3 example texts that you use with your students. These can be the same as those brought to Day 1 and texts that you’ve already used with your class. They could also be texts you plan to use or are thinking about using. Ideally, at least one of the texts will be a new text, as they will be used in an activity on the day.

Primary School Cohort

We are really pleased to confirm that Andy Taylor can be available to deliver another Primary Cohort of Reciprocal Reading at Energus on the 6th December 2023 (Day1) and 25th June 2024 (Day 2).  

If your school has received RR training already and you would like to train more staff OR if you would be interested in starting the RR journey, please email WELL@Cumberland.gov.uk.  

Please note, WELL could fund this training, however, any required resources would have to be funded by the school.
