Online Booking for Courses

To: Headteachers and CPD Leaders From: CPD Team

The CPD team is now running an online booking system for courses. We would like as many schools as possible to use the system. The benefits for you are that it will save you time because you won’t have to manually complete the course application form and fax it through to the courses desk. You will also be able to check online all the courses that your staff have attended. Feedback we have received from those already using the system indicates that it is straightforward and easy to use. However, for the foreseeable future you will still be able to use the manual system if that is your preference.

Please see the Authorisation Form over the page. Please will schools nominate who will have responsibility for inputting the data and who will approve each application (the latter is the equivalent of the headteacher’s signature on the current paper-based application form). You can nominate more than one person to approve course applications but each person has to be first approved by the headteacher and you will need to put the names on the Authorisation form to be returned to us. Schools will not be able to use online booking unless they complete this Authorisation form which must be authorised by the headteacher. Schools that are not subscribed to the HR Advisory service are currently unable to book online. However we strongly suggest that you apply as processes are in place to add these schools that are unsubscribed and they will be able to use this system in the near future.

If you require any further information, please contact the Courses Desk on 01274 385821.

Higher Level Teaching Assistants – Three Day Programme

To: Aspiring HLTA’s From: Evelyn Haigh, School Governance and

Workforce Development Officer T 01274 385936

What is HLTA status? The HLTA status gives formal recognition of the skills, knowledge and experience of staff working at a high level to support teaching and learning and is aimed at those practitioners who have proven skills for this role. HLTA staff are usually employed in roles such as the planning and delivery of sessions where teachers are involved in PPA time and for planned absences. They differ from cover supervisors as they are expected to be involved in the planning and assessment of their sessions and in advancing the learning of their students.

Preparation for the status is through a three day programme leading to completion of assignments which are submitted to an assessor. The assessor also visits the school and looks at evidence to support the application for status, interviews the applicant and representatives from the school. All applicants need to have the support of the headteacher and complete the formal application process before they can attend the course. Cost

This course is no longer funded and will cost £300 for the course delivery payable in the normal way; a further charge of £450 for the assessment costs will be payable direct to Carnegie Leaders in Learning who provide the assessors for the course. Applications If you are interested in applying for the HLTA programme, please apply using the HLTA application form and diagnostic form which can be found at https://schools.educationbradford.com/Schools/CMSPage.aspx?mid=438

Please note that all prospective candidates must have a minimum of a Level 2 qualification in Numeracy and Literacy to access this programme and have submitted and have approved an HLTA Diagnostic form available from Bradford Schools Online.

New Courses (Autumn 2015)

Title A Journey to Outstanding

Course number

CPD15P/09 Description of Course Platt Bridge Community School in Wigan is an outstanding school leading a Teaching School Alliance in the North of England. Ofsted reported in 2013 that achievement throughout the school is exceptional. Serving an area of social and economic disadvantage, most of the children enter school significantly below expectations. At the end of KS2, many pupils have attained well above age-related expectations. This is due to a whole school focus on learning and progress which results in outstanding progress for almost all pupils in every year group. The school opened in September 2006 after the closure of two failing schools. It was first inspected in October 2007 without any validated data from Raise and was judged to be good at this time. From 2007 to 2009 the school continued to improve, resulting in it being in the top one percentile in the country for value added measures and significantly above other schools for attainment, which has been sustained from 2009 onwards. The Senior Leadership Team will present a detailed case study, explaining and sharing how they use proven strategies to ensure high quality teaching and learning, accelerated progress of pupils and enhanced leadership opportunities. This is a repeat of the successful course that ran in June 2015, some of the feedback from that day included:

“…provided simple but practical ideas to improve the quality of teaching and learning in my school”

“…excellent, the LA needs to follow this route….”

Title Bar Modelling in Mathematics - A Tool for Representing Problems involving the Four Operations, Ratio and Proportion

Course number

PRI15P/12

Description of Course Intended outcomes for learners: Pupils have a tool that can help them to represent the mathematical structure within a problem. Often referred to as 'Singapore Bar Model,' the model helps children to identify the maths within a word problem. Here is an example of a word problem that the Bar Model can help with:

'In a class, 18 of the children are girls.

A quarter of the children are boys.

Altogether, how many children are there in the class?' Intended outcomes for participants:

Do your pupils struggle to interpret word problems?

Do they ask you which operation to use? If so, then this is the course for you. Content of the course: Practical tips and suggestions on introducing pupils to Bar Modelling. ‘We have found the Bar and Block useful in allowing children to visualise their problem and come to a conclusion regarding the answer. The development of language has been excellent and children have begun referring to the parts of the questions, quickly understanding how to move a visual representation into a number sentence.' Year One Teacher, Princeville Primary School, Bradford.

Intended Participants Numeracy Coordinators



Primary teachers and mathematic subject leaders wishing to develop the Bar Model as a tool for helping pupils to interpret word problems.

Title Using Technology Effectively in the Early Years and Foundation Stage

Course number

IT015P/02

Description of Course Intended outcomes for learners: EYFS and KS1 pupils will have the opportunity to use a wider range of ICT in their learning. Intended outcomes for participants: The participants will recognise simple yet effective uses of readily available technologies to engage learners in all areas of provision. Content of the course: Supporting development towards the Early Learning Goals and potential for children to excel with technology, this course will consider the ELG and beyond statements. ELG children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes. Beyond the ELG children find out about and use a range of everyday technology. They select appropriate applications that support an identified need – for example in deciding how best to make a record of a special event in their lives, such as a journey on a steam train. On this half day course we will introduce the Bradford curriculum and we will investigate how to make effective use of a range of technology, content, software and apps including whiteboard software, online content and tablet devices (specifically iPads) to impact on learning and development in the Early Years.
