Event Overview

This year's theme and one of the big areas of focus for all Trust schools is personalisation.

The growing range of needs of the children in our Trust means that staff need to be significantly more informed, prepared and able to meet the diverse range of needs presented by our pupils. Our Trust vision for a high quality of education for all, regardless of starting points and barriers, is lived out in the aims of this year’s Trust wide staff training.

Our aims for the day To hear from a range of experts about neurobiology and how children and the child’s brain responds best to learning.

To explore the various ways in which we as educators can create personalised provision that ensures a high quality education for all students regardless of starting points, background or barriers.

To collaborate with colleagues and experts to action plan some of the key techniques explored over the course of the day.
