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.

Aimed at: This course is aimed at teachers in both primary and secondary schools.
Entry requirements: None – no experience of animation, or film making and editing is required.
Course details: Stop-motion animation is an exciting, engaging and highly rewarding medium which can be used to support literacy and other areas of the curriculum in primary and secondary settings.
Stop motion animation is an alternative to filmmaking as it can be undertaken within the bounds of the classroom and requires minimal equipment.
This one day course is very practical, with lots of hands-on opportunities to practise the skills covered. It is designed to enable all teachers to quickly and easily acquire the skills to use stop-motion animation, like any other tool in the teacher’s repertoire, to enhance the curriculum.
Stop-motion animation is accessible to a wide range of children and students. It allows them to express themselves across a range of subjects. It is a particularly useful tool to engage learners who may not respond to a more traditional range of stimuli. Using stop motion animation focuses the learner’s initial attention upon a novel, new and exciting activity. Once fully engaged pupils will access the learning that is layered throughout the activity.
The course looks at the practical and financial aspects of using animation in school. The course provides participants with information on affordable hardware and software solutions that are easy to use.
Included within the cost of the course is an animation kit to take back to school which will comprise a copy of the software “I Can Animate” and a webcam.
Participants do not need to bring their own equipment with them as all equipment for use during the practical sessions of the course is provided.
Method of Tuition: Tutor-led practical and theoretical sessions.
Course Objectives: Participants will
- Gain an understanding of the simple and easy to use process of stop motion animation.
- Gain the skills to enable them to use stop motion animation within school.
- Explore how stop motion animation can support the development of the curriculum.
- Be able to show that digital technology can be a powerful conduit for self expression and creativity.

Aimed at: More experienced mentors or coaches who have attended some initial training covering basic mentoring & coaching processes and skills, and who are now looking to ‘top up’ their repertoire of coaching and mentoring techniques or refresh their skills.
Entry requirements: Ideally delegates will have already attended an initial mentoring & coaching skills course, such as the one run by PBM: Mentoring & Coaching Skills for Schools and Colleges or Mentoring for Continued Staff Development.
Course details: The course will look at each stage of the mentoring and coaching process and identify helpful additional techniques, as well as giving delegates an opportunity to share good practice from their own experience.
Course Objectives: Delegates will leave the course with some new ideas which they can apply in their mentoring and coaching practice back at their school or college, as well as additional material for their own in-school training of coaches and mentors.
