The government is asking people for their views on a green paper setting out measures to improve mental health support for children and young people.
The green paper focuses on earlier intervention and prevention, especially in and linked to schools and colleges. To add your voice to the consultation process, please see the link below. You may wish to share this information more widely with parents/carers and where appropriate, pupils.
Arrangements for the termly collection of school's Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Phonics data through SIMS.
New research raises teachers concern into ability grouping and its effect on children’s self- esteem. The researchers, Dr Alice Bradbury and Dr Guy Roberts-Holmes from UCL Institute of Education, University College London, said: “Teachers told us that the pressure upon schools to demonstrate continuously improving data in the Phonics Screening Check and KS1 SATS appears to exert a downward pressure into the EYFS.” The information from this research will be explored in the Solihull Early Years and Education Improvement CPD programme (link below).
Please see lists available to download below outlining our Core Briefings and Partnership CPD offers for the Spring Term.
There are likely to be additions to the briefings programme and we will keep you updated via Head Lines when additional events are added.
Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities (EPEC) is an evidence-based, low-cost parenting programme. It combines peer-led parenting groups with training, supervision and support provided by parenting specialists based in local services. In Solihull, the courses would be offered in three wards: Chelmsley Wood, Kingshurst & Fordbridge and Smiths Wood to vulnerable families with children with behaviour conduct issues aged 2-11 years initially.
