Raising achievement

Closing attainment gaps: Part 1 Understanding disadvantage

In part 1 of our 'closing attainment gaps' series, we explore the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on children and their learning. Disadvantaged pupils can succeed in school, but it is vital we understand their individual circumstances and intervene as early as possible. We examine the importance of building pupils' self-efficacy to ensure a positive response when learning is difficult. We recommend this training module for all teaching and pastoral staff, especially those with a specific responsibility for disadvantaged pupils, and is likely to take about an hour to complete.

Closing attainment gaps: Part 2 Strategies for English and maths

In part 2 of our 'closing attainment gaps' series, we share a range of strategies staff can use to help close the attainment gaps between underachieving pupils and their peers, especially those that are disadvantaged. As oral language development underpins many issues pupils face with English and maths difficulties, we explore the importance of purposeful talk and the need to develop academic language. This is followed by reading, writing, spelling and maths strategies and interventions you could consider. We would recommend this training module for all teaching staff as well as SENCOs and those responsible for supporting disadvantaged pupils. It is likely to take around an hour to complete.

Effective parental engagement

This training module focuses on the various ways we can boost parental engagement. We consider the barriers of terminology when working with 'hard-to-reach' parents and explore practical strategies to encourage engagement between school and home. Finally we share a school communication plan and what you should include in a school communications policy. This training module is suitable for all staff who come into contact with parents. We anticipate it will take 45 minutes to complete, depending upon the time you allocate to carry out the activities and discussions.
