Fantastic article by Fleur Sexton DL in Education Today magazine! In Education Today’s second look at Alternative Provision this month, Fleur looks at some of the ways in which AP can be successfully implemented.

The ongoing housing emergency is making it clear that the sector is going to have to lead when it come to addressing the challenges in our housing system. While we can’t solve all the problems we know that a commitment to profressionalism and improving practice is central to improving outcomes for tenants. The commitment published today will help support landlords improve the professional practice already taking place across their organisations

ALTERNATIVE PROVISION I will be doing one of the keynote sessions at this conference, which will be based on analysis of actual coverage of this provision in inspections. The research is proving very interesting... https://lnkd.in/gacvr6zd

We're thrilled to announce a new initiative within the Rainbow, focusing on enhancing retrieval practice across our schools. 🏫✨ Recent OFSTED inspections have highlighted a common area for improvement: ensuring our pupils know and remember more. This is a challenge many schools are facing, and we're committed to addressing it head-on with innovative and effective strategies. To spearhead this, we have established a dedicated Working Party comprised of passionate educators and specialists from within our Trust. Their mission is to delve deep into retrieval practice techniques and implement best practices that will boost our pupils long-term retention and understanding. 💡 Key Goals of Our Working Party: 💡 Research & Development: Investigate the most effective retrieval practice methods and how they can be adapted to suit our curriculum. 👨🏫 Professional Development: Equip our teachers with the tools and training they need to incorporate these techniques seamlessly into their classrooms. 📚 Pupil Engagement: Develop engaging activities and resources that make retrieval practice a natural and enjoyable part of learning. ✅ Assessment & Feedback: Create robust systems to monitor progress and provide regular, ongoing feedback to ensure continuous improvement. We believe that by fostering a culture of continuous learning and memory retention, we can make a significant impact on our pupils educational journey. This initiative is not just about meeting OFSTED standards but about striving for excellence and ensuring that each and every child has the best possible foundation for their futures. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey towards educational excellence! 🚀📚 #Education #RetrievalPractice #Success #ContinuousImprovement #Collaboration #EducationalExcellence #OFSTED #TeacherTraining #PupilEngagement #Rainbow Education MAT 🌈

The recently released Education Select Committee report has highlighted some key findings into Ofsted's work with schools. The report found that there is a lack of consistency in Ofsted's inspection process, with varying levels of support and guidance given to schools. Additionally, it was revealed that there exists a gap in the regulator's understanding and implementation of the curriculum, particularly in relation to cultural diversity and inclusion. Furthermore, the report emphasized the need for greater transparency and accountability in Ofsted's inspection procedures to ensure that schools are being evaluated fairly. These findings are crucial for educators, policy makers, and stakeholders in the education sector to consider. It is imperative that Ofsted's inspection process is reliable and fair in order to accurately assess the quality of education being delivered in schools. The report's call for increased transparency and understanding of cultural diversity in the curriculum should serve as a reminder for all schools to prioritize inclusivity and equality. As the education landscape continues to evolve, it is vital that we address these issues to ensure that every child has access to quality education. #EducationSelectCommittee #Ofsted #SchoolInspections

Friday fact... 1 in 20 privately-educated children make it to Oxbridge, compared to 1 in 1,500 children eligible for free school meals. That's 5% versus 0.067%. To be eligible for free school meals, a child must live in a household which has an annual income of less than £7,400 and gets income-related benefits. This perpetuates class divide. It makes it almost impossible for children from low-income backgrounds to enter the most prestigious universities in the country and access the opportunities that come from getting a degree from one of these institutions. I went to a Teach First school which serves a disadvantaged community. After being awarded eight A*s in my GCSEs, coming top of my year group and being part of the Teach First Futures Programme and Oxbridge Support Programme where I was encouraged to believe there are #NoLimits, I applied to the University of Cambridge. I took an entrance exam and was offered an interview based on my written application, qualifications and performance in the exam. At the time, my family didn't have a car, but a staff member from my school very kindly offered to drive me to Cambridge for my interview and even stayed overnight in a hotel whilst I stayed in the accommodation of the college I had applied to. Going to Cambridge and waiting amongst the other applicants with interviews, I immediately realised that I stuck out and that everybody else in the room came from very different backgrounds to me. I can't help but wonder that if I had a different accent, wore more expensive clothes and came across as "higher class", would that have affected the outcome of my interview? This is why Teach First exists. We believe that all children should have access to high quality education and should have a fair chance at going on to achieve whatever they wish if they are willing to work hard and have potential. Your accent and background should not impact your ability to succeed. #TeachFirst #Oxbridge
