Communications (test)

A varied and exciting programme, perfect for those in their early years of teaching.

To be held on Tuesday 2 July 2019 at Tudor Grange Academy Solihull, 9:00am - 3:20pm.

For booking details and further information please see the attached flyer and agenda for the day.

This session will equip personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) leads to prepare for statutory RSE through auditing their subject area.

Staff delivering RSE will increase their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum and the changes that are enshrined in law from 2020. There will be updates on a range of sexual health issues, engaging with stakeholders and ensuring that teaching meets the needs of learners. Sessions will be delivered by staff from Umbrella, Loud Mouth, Jigsaw PSHE and the Solihull school improvement team.

Staff are able to opt into relevant sessions (see attached agenda) or attend for the whole day (lunch provided).

Please email inset@solihull.gov.uk  to book your free places. The session will take place on June 18, 2019 at Sans Souci training centre, 9am - 4pm.

Through consultation with Solihull schools' strategic accountability board (SSSAB) we are issuing a new data sharing agreement to all schools.

The current data sharing agreement only allows the data sharing early where it is due to be in the public domain. The revised agreement would allow the local authority to share appropriate data with the Solihull schools' teaching alliance, earlier, when it becomes available in July.  This would enable the alliance to target support to schools in a timelier manner.

This proposal has gone to SSSAB and it is in full support of the new agreement. Please read through the attached agreement and if you are satisfied, sign it and send it to edperfdata@solihull.gov.uk.

We can then implement the new arrangements for the 2019 results, provided we receive the signed agreements by the end of June 2019.
