Date: Tues 19th Jan


Facilitator: Ed Pawson

Time: 09:30 – 13:30

Cost: Staff £80 or £50 subscription rate per person (plus VAT where applicable)

The new Ofsted inspection framework (September 2015) places significant emphasis on SMSC, stating

that a school’s provision for SMSC needs to be considered before making a judgement on the schools’

overall effectiveness. The promotion of Fundamental British Values is now a significant part of this

judgement. In June 2015 the DfE published “The Prevent Duty: Departmental advice for schools” which

explains how and why schools have a duty to protect children from the dangers of radicalisation.

Intended outcomes

This course will equip teachers to:

• Understand current expectations on SMSC, British Values and the Prevent Duty

• Explore and utilise a variety of techniques to open up discussion on these topics

• Plan units and create resources which will create engaged learning on these issues

classroom ideas and activities. We will explore a range of strategies and techniques, including

philosophical enquiry, to ask the question: “what exactly are British Values?”

subject knowledge and active approaches to learning. Resources and ideas will be shared, offering

engaging strategies and creative, enquiry-based materials suitable for children from 5-11.

Course title: Preparation for RE Quality Mark application

Date: Tues 15th Mar



Time: 09:30 – 13:30


The Religious Education Quality Mark has been developed to recognize and celebrate high quality RE in

noticed and valued and this course will give practical guidance on how to apply.

all the relevant sections: learners and learning, teachers and teaching, curriculum, subject leadership and

continuing professional development. Application for the award is in the form of a self-assessment, so we

16

its techniques can be embedded into learning settings across the curriculum.

We regret that when such late cancellations occur, it will be necessary to make an

administration charge and recoup any costs incurred as part of a cancellation fee (this will

depend on the nature of the course and the costs incurred). A cancellation fee of 100% will be

made if cancelling within one week of an event, subject to the terms and conditions of the

venue.

Most courses will have a minimum number of participants required to make the course viable. In

the event of the Diocese cancelling the course, a full refund will be given.

REFRESHMENTS

The Course fees include refreshments on arrival and at any breaks. Where stated, lunch will be

provided, usually as a sandwich buffet selection.
