Schools who took part in our previous programme said:
All helpful resources were shared on the teacher drive under curriculum and PSHE. (The school) will monitor these and keep them up to date. Including these in the termly update next year.
The safeguarding policy is updated on at least a yearly basis but any major changes will also be put into the safeguarding policy. We have safeguarding training every Wednesday with reminders on how to report and when to report.
The 'Upstanders' initiative was shared with all staff during a best practice session with all teaching staff.
Through research we recognised that high quality CPD for teachers has a significant effect on pupil’s learning outcomes. CPD programmes have the potential to close the gap. Evidence suggest that quality CPD has a greater effect on pupil attainment that other interventions school may consider.
It is important that the sharing of information and training is ongoing and it is inclusive of all staff.
