8th September

 

An organisation's most valuable commodity is its people - you! The CLC work you are doing is fantastic - we are seeing some real collaborative work and "thinking outside the box"!

To note; Tuesday PDs

On Tuesdays when no NEASC PD has been scheduled, other PDs (like next week's Phonics for KG - Y3 and Formative for Y4-6) may be scheduled. Equally, it may be allotted as "Team Time". The expectation is always on these Tuesdays that regardless of the planned PD, or team time, staff stay until 3.00 pm. It could be an idea to reschedule a team meeting to that slot in a "Team Time" week, so you don't stay until 3.00 pm on another day. That would be a conversation for your teams. Thanks for understanding. 

2022/23 Professional Growth Objectives

Getting in early with this, as it might be something you prefer to spread across a longer timescale and chip away at.... however it suits, these are due to be published on your BlueSky platform by September 29th.

The video linked on the pic below will help to guide you, and a session within team meetings is also advisable. If you are unsure or undecided on a suitable objective, see buddies, team leaders and/or your associated admin:

KG1, Y1 and any new staff: Angela (plus Asiya, Sara)

KG2, Y2 and Y3: Renee (plus Melisha; Rola; Gina)

Y 4, 5, 6: Lewis (plus  Masuma; Zelda; Kris)

PE: Mr Rami

Arabic: Mr Yazan

LAs: specific teacher or TL - this is for information only at this stage. LAs do not need to develop objectives on this timescale. Watch this space!
