Element 1: Course Themes

o Theme 1: A curriculum to be proud of With the national curriculum for primary schools currently under review and the promise of new freedoms ahead, there is a golden opportunity to revisit our aims and what we consider important in our schools and communities. A time to remind ourselves that the curriculum, as Martin Hammerton HMI puts it, ‘is a key determinant of outcomes’ and that the most successful schools offer ‘a rich curriculum which provides memorable experiences and rich opportunities for high quality learning and wider personal development and wellbeing’ (Ofsted 2009). This theme draws on the best practice in approaches to teaching and learning in Norfolk and beyond. We hope to draw out the elements that make these approaches so inspirational and explore the potential impact on a broad range of outcomes.

o Theme 2: Changing conditions for learning What’s stopping your school becoming even better? Do you use the environment to it’s full potential? Are parents supporting the school in widening aspirations and in raising standards? These courses explore some of the ways in which schools have empowered children to think independently, take responsibility for their learning and have a real impact on the learning environment and their own learning.

o Theme 3: Learning Worlds This theme looks afresh at contexts for learning and teaching, building on the expertise and enthusiasm we have in Norfolk. Combining a broad and balanced curriculum with innovation and aspiration is sure to motivate staff and pupils alike. Using the Arts, technology, international links or the environment as a starting point, these courses aim to inspire you to greater heights.

o Theme 4: Inspiration at the core This theme takes a look at the approaches to teaching a broad range of basic skills to enable children to learn and apply their learning in a whole new way. Whether it’s science or phonics, we aim to help you put the enthusiasm back in the learning.

Course Context and Audience: With the national curriculum for primary and secondary schools currently under review, many schools are also reviewing whether their provision is fit for purpose in respect of meeting the needs of all their pupils. This course will look at the principles of a curriculum which attempts to reduce barriers to learning for all pupils, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups, including pupils with SEND, highly mobile pupils, pupils in receipt of free school meals and the pupil premium and gifted and talented. The course will draw on the latest research, including the Ofsted report review of special educational needs and disability published in September 2010. It will attempt to address those aspects of the education bill (January 2011) which will be highlighted in the new inspection framework. It will draw on the experience of schools in Norfolk using the revised index for inclusion. It will help teachers and school leaders evaluate how they provide for different groups of pupils and how well the school provides for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils. Tools for capturing this provision and reviewing its purpose and impact will also be considered, including provision mapping. The emphasis of this course is upon the operational and practical skills of designing and implementing a curriculum for all. It compliments the ‘sister’ course entitled “Developing Leadership strategies to engage all learners” which has a greater strategic leadership focus. Objectives and Outcomes: By the end of the course, participants will have: o Greater understanding of the purpose and potential of a school designed curriculum o Tools to audit and structure provision according to pupil needs o Practical application of provision mapping o Knowledge of barriers to learning and strategies to reduce barriers.

Course Context and Audience: The new Equality Bill places a clear obligation on local authorities to make narrowing the gap a policy objective. Schools report that in raising standards for all, one of the greatest challenges is the ‘low aspirations’ of some children and their parents which impact adversely on these pupils’ motivation to succeed. This course for headteachers, teachers and governors explores the implications for schools, parents and children of ‘widening aspirations’. It also offers accessible, practical models for schools to work in partnership with families to extend aspirations for their children and themselves. Objectives and Outcomes: By the end of this course, participants will: o be informed about recent, relevant research on aspiration in children and their families o learn of and share effective practice in engaging children and their parents in wider learning

opportunities both locally and nationally o feel secure in planning and running a programme of events and activities to widen aspiration

for both pupils and their families. In addition schools will be able to: o further develop the capacity to engage with all parents o enable parents to become familiar with and participate in a range of learning opportunities for

both themselves and their children and thus begin to positively shape aspiration.

Tailored ‘Advice and Support’ options for individual schools or collaborations of 3 or more schools: Advice and support activities could include: o Staff meetings o Input to governor meetings (could be cluster activity) o Planning activities with key staff (could be cluster activity) o Support in setting up and running an initial activity with parents.

Course Context and Audience: Too many children in state schools are denied the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. Evidence suggests that learning an instrument can improve numeracy, literacy and behaviour. But more than that, it is simply unfair that the joy of musical discovery should be the preserve of those whose parents can afford it. Michael Gove Following recent investment in music education this course will start with a subject update and explain how Norfolk schools and children can access and benefit a range of musical opportunities both in addition to the curriculum and as part of the curriculum. Helping children to make the links between music in school, the artists they hear on the radio and the songs they download is an important theme throughout the day, along with making connections between learning in music and how it can support learning in other subjects. A series of activities will illustrate the opportunities described with appropriate repertoire and teaching notes. All the activities are suitable for KS1 and KS2 children, all those interested or involved in music education are involved and delegates do not need to be able to read music. As well as it being important to learn skills in music for its own sake the benefits don’t stop there. Immersion in music can lead to improved social skills and educational success, with behaviour, well-being, confidence, team working and concentration skills all proven to improve with good music provision. Darren Henley Classic FM Objectives and Outcomes: o to update and improve subject knowledge o to offer a high quality ‘arts for learning’ experience in Music o to support evaluation of music in terms of learning.

Tailored ‘Advice and Support’ options for individual schools or collaborations of 3 or more schools: A school/group of schools may request: o A whole day or half day with all staff on music in the curriculum o A whole day or half day with all staff on singing o A workshop in school working with children for staff to observe followed by discussion.

This course for EYFS teachers and KS1 teachers is designed to support pupils to make good progress in phonological knowledge and skills with sessions delivered linked to their own interests and cross curricular themes. During the session you will focus on developing strategies for planning phonics activities based securely within the principles of Letters and Sounds phase progression. Very important: This course assumes that delegates have a secure phonics subject knowledge, and does not include sessions on phonetic knowledge and skills. Objectives and Outcomes: o Demonstrate how phonics teaching can be delivered through themes, making links to other

areas of learning and the curriculum, ensuring that pupils are supported to apply phonics into speaking and listening, reading and writing

o Spend time in practical sessions developing sequences for teaching phonics, linked to children’s own interests and wider curriculum themes, whilst maintaining progression.

Tailored ‘Advice and Support’ options for individual schools or collaborations of 3 or more schools: A school/group of schools may request: o An adviser to run a repeat of the training in school. This could be for one school or organised

within a cluster o Support sessions provided in school to support teachers planning themed phonics for their

pupils' interests o Subject leader support with monitoring of phonics planning, and teaching.
