We are proud to present Alex Pascall, a media personality with vast experience. Many of you will remember him with his Radio London program, Black Londoners.
Alex will talk about his experiences of working with schools.

Shabita Shamsad, our second speaker, a teacher at the Central Foundation Girls School, will talk about a project she initiated with her students.

Supplementary schools will have an opportunity to highlight and share their own interesting practices in creative language teaching.

Supplementary School Awards - Hammersmith & Fulham
2017-10-25 18:30 - 20:30 | Hammersmith Town Hall, King Street, London, W6 9JU, United Kingdom
The Mayor of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, Cllr Michael Cartwright, invites supplementary schools to celebrate the achievement of safeguarding standards.
Following a 3-day Good Management course in the spring, four community organisations have completed management files containing all necessary policies and procedures, had a visit to their school in action, and demonstrated that they run safe, effective out-of-school provision and promote the welfare of children.
The four supplementary schools are:

The Sudanese Association
Riana Development Network
Leaf Education School
Westpoint Community Supplementary School

Supplementary Schools Awards - Kensington & Chelsea
2017-11-01 18:00 - 20:30 | Kensington Town Hall, Hornton Street, London, W8 7NX, United Kingdom
The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, Westway Trust and RBKC Partnership of Supplementary Schools are celebrating the achievement of community organisations delivering supplementary education.
Some of the wider opportunities provided for students in 2016/17 included:

British Science Week – 26 young people took part in an exciting Coding Project. The children made robots and LED beanies.

125 children participated in a 5-day residential to Hindleap Warren, Ashdown Forest. An outdoor activity centre which provides education and personal development opportunities for children.

Supplementary school co-ordinators and volunteers were trained to be ‘Community Reporters’. The Community Reporter’s Institute’s aim is to provide a space for people to tell their story of lived experiences and share with each and a wider audience. These stories are used to challenge perceptions and allow people to describe their own reality. Stories are published on www.communityreporter.net

The Grenfell Tower disaster hit RBKC supplementary schools really hard and the community has pulled together to help and support those affected. The evening will also commemorate the pupils and staff lost.

Unfortunately the community preview for the reopening of the Joseph E. Hotung Gallery of China and South Asia on Sunday the 5th of November at the British Museum has had to be postponed.
This permanent gallery has been closed for over a year to be redesigned to include a wider range of objects such as textiles and paintings to complement the existing items on show, such as sculpture in stone and bronze.
On the day we will have a workshop and art installation by the Mary Ward Centre and performances by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sunday School and SiShu Chinese School.
Please be aware that this is a preview of a permanent gallery and that many of the objects from the South Asia section might still not be on display by then. The gallery will open to the general public on the 10th of November and it is expected to be completed by January 2018.

Good Management course - Day 3
2018-01-28 10:00 - 15:30 | Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, London, N7 6PA, United Kingdom
The purpose of this popular three day course is to help you to meet the minimum requirements for safe out of school provision.
Over the three days we shall prepare three booklets that you can use with parents, teachers and volunteers, and the management committee. Together they will guide you to put together a Management File for your supplementary school.
On Day 3 we will be working on the responsibilities of the management committee and helping you to produce a

Management Committee Guide

To complete the minimum requirements for safe out-of-school provision you must have all of the policies and procedures detailed in the Good Management Pack. Each day we shall complete one of the three focused booklets: Day 1 -Welcome Pack for Parents; Day 2 – Staff and Volunteer Handbook, Day 3 – Management Committee Guide.
Just go to the training section in our online shop to book your place. Each day costs £105 per school (or £75 if you subscribe to NRCSE or for quality assured members). To get the maximum benefit from this course your school should send at least one person to all three sessions. Even better, you can send two people for the same price!
