Autumn Term Roundup

19/12/2019

0 Comments

 
ESP
What a term! So much has happened this autumn term we thought we would do a quick update before we head into the new year.

ESP have been very lucky to welcome new schools over the last few months, taking the total number of registered schools to 89. Their NQT support sessions have been a success and they are looking forward to developing these for next year. This month Keri and Sacha attended the Exeter University Teacher Recruitment event. It was great to talk to the next generation of teachers and receive such lovely positive feedback. ESP hope to have the opportunity to work with them next academic year.

ESP also have exciting plans to expand the office team and are currently recruiting a part-time administrator to join Keri and Sacha with arranging cover for the 89 schools. If you are interested or know someone who might be, more information about the role can be found on our website.

The autumn term has been a busy one for supply and ESP have reached a record number of bookings, covering almost 700 in November, their busiest month ever since starting ESP. We expect and hope this trend will continue in the new year as well.
We wish all our teachers, teaching assistants and colleagues in registered schools a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Enjoy the Christmas break everyone and we will see you in 2020!

CPD
It’s been a jam-packed autumn term for our CPD offering with over 500 delegates taking part across 23 courses. Notable events comprised our Inclusion Forum, Teaching & Learning Symposium and the first ever TSSW Literacy Conference which saw 124 delegates fill Exeter Racecourse to enjoy 3 keynote speeches and a variety of workshops by national and regional experts.

Our popular subject networks also continued to thrive with excellent attendances for Science, Maths, English, School Business Managers, Art, PE and Computing.
​
Focus has already shifted to the Spring term with plenty of courses arranged for colleagues of all disciplines. The Technology Conference will take place on Friday 7th February at Tiverton Hotel and feature a keynote speech and workshop from Mr P (Lee Parkinson). New courses will also launch including TA Training, Trauma Informed Training and a Primary PSHE Network. Here’s to another successful term!

Are you interested in developing a better understanding of wellbeing?
Are you curious about how you might improve the culture of wellbeing in your school?

​What’s on offer?
This wellbeing hub will run initially for the rest of the 2019-20 academic year. This will involve four half-termly training sessions, finishing in the summer term. Sessions will cover the following themes: Recognising Resilience and Wellbeing, Relationships, Stress/Anxiety, Challenging Conversations and Listening and Communication Skills.

Who is leading the training?
Sessions will be facilitated by Russell Pearson (Deputy Head at Willowbrook School) and Liz Scott and Stu Newberry, who run the organisation ‘Inner Compass’. Liz and Stu are experienced coaches who specialise in the field of wellbeing.

Why?
This hub is being formed because we are passionate about bringing together schools in the local area who are keen to place ‘wellbeing’ at the heart of what they do. We know that collectively we can make great things happen in the communities that we serve.

When?
Sessions will take place after school (4.00-5.30pm) on the following dates:
Session 1: Tuesday 4th February 2020 Session 2: Thursday 12th March 2020
Session 3: Tuesday 5th May 2020 Session 4: Tuesday 23rd June 2020

Where?
All sessions will take place at Willowbrook School (Summer Lane, Exeter). Free parking is available opposite the school in the Arena Carpark.

What cost is involved?
The cost for each delegate is £180 (working out as £45 per session).

FundEd Assistant

​A new support service from the team at FundEd.

​FundEd is a time-saving toolkit for School Business Managers, featuring a comprehensive range of proven income generation solutions. It’s a highly respected service that has helped schools raise significant additional funds.


​But as good as FundEd is, it isn’t working for all schools. There are many that desperately want to raise funds, but just don’t have the time or resources to get their fundraising plans off the ground.

In thinking through the issues, our ‘light bulb’ moment came when we realised that
we already had a solution. By using the tools at our disposal and the expertise of our
partners, we could set up and establish fundraising schemes and programmes for
schools, ourselves.

FundEdAssistant works with schools to understand their needs and put in place a plan and undertake activities that would allow them to achieve their fundraising goals and create long term sustainable income streams.
