This course is aimed at all who teach and support secondary Food Technology, home economics or catering or who lead cookery clubs or food activities in schools. It is crucial that teachers and support staff can identify the hazards and assess the risks, and determine how to remove or control the risks within an educational environment. The Health and Safety Training Standards and the D&T Associations Health & Safety Accreditation Scheme have been introduced to provide a sound professional manner, and be able to show evidence of meeting that requirement. This course fulfils OFSTED's 'safeguarding' criteria including training and risk assessments for food technology lessons. Our qualified trainer will enable you to achieve specialist food health and safety accreditation and the level 2 food safety certificate in one day. Accreditation lasts for 5 years.

Aimed at
Primary headteachers, other senior staff in primary schools who are performance management team leaders, and teachers
Course details
The single most important factor in ensuring a good education for every child is that they have the best teaching possible. Teachers are a school’s greatest asset and must be supported in every way to ensure that they fulfil their potential. This course underpins the assertion that ‘The quality of a school cannot exceed the quality of its teachers’.
This one day course is designed to help senior staff gain a thorough understanding of the new Teacher Standards (effective from September 2012) and the related arrangements for performance management. The course will help participants to use the new Teacher Standards to underpin appraisal and performance management procedures in school. This will include the latest information regarding the proposed ‘Master Teacher Standard’. The training includes reference to the DfE’s model policy and refers throughout to the recently revised (January 2012) Teacher Appraisal and Capability regulations. The course looks at the use of lesson observation as part of the performance management process, and also provides participants with suggested templates to support the process of performance management. By the end of the course participants will be familiar with the relevant regulations, will be clear as to an effective approach to managing the appraisal process in school and will understand the skills required as part of the appraiser/appraisee relationship.
Tutor Adrian F
Adrian is an experienced Inspector, primary Headteacher and consultant. Following fifteen years as a successful Headteacher of three primary schools, Adrian has worked as an independent consultant since 2009, supporting school improvement. He has worked in high achieving schools as well as in schools needing improvement. He has been seconded to two schools placed in Ofsted categories. Adrian is an experienced school inspector and lead inspector and is also an accredited School Improvement Partner. His areas of expertise lie across the primary curriculum. Since finishing Headship he has worked extensively with schools and clusters across the country providing consultancy and training, particularly focused on developing the skills and expertise of senior leadership teams in monitoring and evaluation. His record with the company is exemplary.
Course Objectives By the end of the day, delegates will:
• Have a clear understanding of the Teachers’ Standards (1 September 2012) and the ways in which these could be used to support a school’s performance management process.
• Be familiar with the Teacher Appraisal and Capability regulations (published in January 2012 and effective from 1 September 2012) and the processes required in school in order for these to operate smoothly.
• Have a clear understanding of the latest information available related to the proposed ‘Master Teacher Standard’ and the implication for schools.
• Have discussed a number of ways of collecting and collating information about a teacher’s performance and effectiveness over the course of a school year, in the context of the new regulations.
• Have discussed possible formats/templates that could be used to support the performance management process in school.
• Have a clear view as to the skills and approaches that are part of an effective appraiser/appraisee relationship, including the use of lesson observations.

3 DAY COURSE:
26 April 2013, 03 May 2013, 10 May 2013
OTHER DATES ARE AVAILABLE
Topic: Developing inspection and self-evaluation skills: A three day course for headteachers, deputy and assistant heads, and senior leaders.
Aimed at: Headteachers, deputy headteachers, and senior managers in primary and secondary Schools
Course details: Based on the new inspection schedule, updated to include relevant national developments, the three-day course helps senior managers develop inspection and evaluation skills. It covers most aspects of school self-evaluation and gives examples of good practice.
Course Objectives:
• Understanding the new inspection schedule and the likely impact of relevant new national developments.
• Using audit, evaluation, and inspection trails (learning walks) to diagnose strengths, weaknesses, and priorities for improvement.
• Making accurate judgements from a range of evidence.
• Sharpen data analysis and progress tracking skills (including RAISE online, FFT, and other school performance data).
• Using and improving quality assurance systems.
• Observing lessons accurately and effectively and recording findings.
• Work sampling efficiently and effectively.
• Evaluating and developing self-evaluation systems.
• Communicating self-evaluation findings, including high quality oral and written communication, and feedback to various stakeholders.
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses and planning for improvement.
Method of Tuition: The course lasts three days and is a mix of direct tuition and skill based learning involving tasks, case study materials, and homework. The practical activities are mainly completed in groups of two or three participants so that thoughts and evaluations can be shared and compared. Each day has five hours of tuition, divided into four blocks of 1.25 hours.
Tutor:
Bruce McAlpine has managed the Company for 17 years. He writes and develops training materials and tutors many of the courses. He is an experienced lead inspector and was an additional inspector. Before becoming an inspector, he taught in infant, primary and middle schools and was a headteacher for seventeen years. His specialist areas include English, mathematics, art, the Foundation Stage, educational management, special educational needs, and English as an additional language. He has an excellent track record as a trainer.
Feedback:
• “The best Headteacher training event I have attended in a very long time- relevant and enjoyable”.
• “Just to say that I thought the Ofsted Inspection Skills training was excellent ... I was unsure whether I could afford 3 whole days out of school but I'm glad that I did as I learnt a lot”.
• “I wondered if you would be kind enough to pass on a sincere note of thanks to Bruce McAlpine. I attended his 3 day course in May of this year and worked hard to implement many of the suggestions, especially the multifilter trackers for subjects. At the end of June we were given an outstanding judgement by Ofsted! This is in no small measure due to the superb training I received on the course. As a result, I am now supporting not only my school, but also another local school in difficulty- this is because of the skills gained from the course- many thanks again,”
• “Outstanding- by far the best course I have been on since started teaching- this should be included as part of NPQH! Thank you!”.
