Protective measures for re-opening supplementary schools during Covid-19 outbreak
2020-07-09 16:00 - 17:00 | Remote, United Kingdom
An opportunity to go through the DfE guidance and practice risk assessment
This webinar will be for supplementary schools in the John Lyon’s Charity beneficial area and NRCSE members.
On 1st July, the Department for Education published its guidance Protective measures for out-of-school settings during the coronavirus (covid 19) outbreak:
As the Prime Minister confirmed in his announcement on 23 June, providers who run community activities, holiday clubs, after-school clubs, tuition and other out-of-school provision for children can operate over the summer holiday, subject to the science and with safety measures in place. Adjustments to the current measures for these providers will be part of Step 3 of the recovery strategy (from 4 July).
We recognise the important role out-of-school settings (OOSS) play in providing enriching activities, giving children the opportunity to socialise with others outside their household and promoting their wellbeing. We also recognise the importance of these settings in providing additional childcare options to parents and carers, particularly those with younger children, who may need to return to or continue to work during the school holidays.
We are aware many providers are already considering what protective measures to put in place to allow them to reopen more widely and as safely as possible during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This document sets out guidance to support their planning and advises on practical steps they can take to minimise the risk to children, staff and parents who attend their settings by reducing the risk of infection and transmission of the virus.
This does not mean everything is ‘back to normal’. Many of you have adapted your activities effectively to support children’s learning in a creative way. We have been getting lots of feedback that although it was a ‘steep learning curve’ you are now finding your pupils and parents are enjoying the new remote teaching and learning. You have got used to video conferencing, you’ve discovered apps and techniques to encourage self-learning, your pupils are more engaged via their mobile phones, your teachers are able to devote the time they used to spend travelling to shorter tutorials with 1-5 pupils.
We want you to think carefully before re-opening face-to-face. Will you be able to meet your own aims and ambitions? Will parents be confident to send their children? Will you be able to afford the additional staffing and space that the protective measures require. What funding is available and is it enough?
This webinar will be an opportunity to hear what other settings are doing, to do some practical risk assessment exercises, to exchange your hopes and concerns with other supplementary schools.
We look forward to being with you
Pascale, Mon, Remy and Stuart

Protective measures for re-opening supplementary schools during Covid-19 outbreak
2020-07-13 16:00 - 17:30 | Remote, United Kingdom
An opportunity to go through the DfE guidance and practice risk assessment
This webinar will be for supplementary schools in Hammersmith & Fulham and Ealing.
On 1st July, the Department for Education published its guidance Protective measures for out-of-school settings during the coronavirus (covid 19) outbreak:
From the end of term, the Department’s protective measures guidance outlines how these settings can minimise the risk to children, staff and parents who attend their settings by reducing the risk of infection and transmission of the virus. Providers should ensure, as far as it is possible, that they are keeping children and young people in small, consistent groups every time they attend. If possible, those attending these settings should practice social distancing in line with the government’s current guidance. To minimise the number of different children mixing, parents and carers are being encouraged to limit the number of settings their children attend as far as possible and attend local settings.
As the risk of transmission is considerably lower outdoors, providers who normally run sessions indoors should consider whether they are able to operate outside. If your setting usually operates outdoors, you should also refer to DCMS’s Guidance on the Phased Return of Outdoor Sport and Recreation.
This does not mean everything is ‘back to normal’. Many of you have adapted your activities effectively to support children’s learning in a creative way. We have been getting lots of feedback that although it was a ‘steep learning curve’ you are now finding your pupils and parents are enjoying the new remote teaching and learning.

Will you be able to afford the additional staffing and space that the protective measures require. What funding is available and is it enough?

Brent out-of-school settings teacher training - 2
2020-07-14 10:00 - 11:00 | Remote, United Kingdom
Teaching Skills in Supplementary Schools – online course
We have now prepared an online version of our popular Teaching Skills in Supplementary Schools, using Google Classroom and Zoom. Six teachers from Brent Supplementary Schools have completed it over May/June and their feedback has been very positive.
‘Even in the current circumstances where the training had to be adapted for online lessons in such a short period of time, it was very well designed and covered all the necessary information’
‘All the information provided in the course was extremely useful and can be used at our school. The lesson plan model lesson was very effective and easy to use. All the information about specifics roles at supplementary school were very important and clearly given’
‘Thank you, Angela for this brilliant course. It was a pleasure to have a class with you.’
‘I found all aspects of the training very useful. The separate rooms in groups gave us a chance to discuss different ideas and strategies. We were able to discuss the video observations and compare ideas. The various hand-outs and PowerPoint slides were comprehensive and clear and I could compare my skills to the information provided. Angela delivered the course very clearly and found all the information she provided useful in all aspects.’
The course will last 6 weeks and will lead to a certificate from the National Resource Centre for Supplementary Education.
Topics are as follows:
1 Mainstream and Supplementary Schools
2 Role of the Teacher and Evaluation
3 Teaching Methods and Lesson Planning
4 Assessment
5 Learning Environment

Each week you will do some preparation at home, meet up online for a Zoom tutorial for the whole group, and write a short assessment task, which you upload to Google Classroom. Your tutor can mark it and send you comments using Google Classroom.
You will have a week after the end of the course to complete your written assessment tasks, and if necessary, have an individual tutorial.
Watch this video to find out how to log in and use Google Classroom.

Towards a national languages strategy
2020-07-20 16:00 - 18:00 | Remote, United Kingdom
The British Academy, working with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Association of School and College Leaders, the British Council and Universities UK, has today published proposals for the education and skills component of a UK-wide national languages strategy.
Towards a national languages strategy presents a series of actions to address the inadequate, longstanding, and worsening supply of the language skills needed by the UK to meet future needs. Languages are strategically vital for the future of the UK, as we look to recover from the coronavirus pandemic and strengthen our relationships across the world.
In our proposals we have taken a joined-up, holistic approach which is coherent across the education and skills systems and which can, where appropriate, be implemented across the UK, to maximise the return which can be achieved. We have sought to learn lessons from previous languages strategies and recent initiatives, and have recognised that while there is a cost for implementation, this can be modest and the responsibility for meeting those costs does not have to rest solely with government. This strategy seeks to build on existing initiatives and to increase their impact, led wherever possible by the language education community itself.
We will be discussing our proposals and the next steps in implementing them in a webinar on Monday 20 July, 16.00-17.00. Sign up to join the webinar here.
