Welcome

Hello! And welcome to October's newsletter. Why not take a breather and read on for news from Norfolk Research School, Wensum Engllish Hub, and more?

Breaking news

We are now taking expressions of interest for two brand new NPQs - find out more about the NPQ in Leading Primary Maths, and the special educational needs and disabilities coordinators (SENCOs) NPQ in the news item below.

Partnership news

The Julian Teaching School Hub is partnering with the MTPT Project to provide fully funded workshops for colleagues returning to work following a period of maternity, adoption, or parental leave. You can find out how to sign up via the news item below.

And finally...

The first half term of the year is always the busiest - we hope you get the chance to relax over half term!

Keep in touch

You can follow us on X and LinkedIn, sign up to receive this newsletter - or just drop us an email.


Spotlight on... Norfolk Research School

Our friends at Norwich Research School have had a makeover! They are now known as Norfolk Research School to better reflect the fact that they are not a Norwich-focused organisation but exist to provide evidence-informed training and partnerships across the whole county. They have a shiny new logo, and will soon have an updated website to go with it.

To celebrate, they've produced two excellent new blogs:

  • In Nurturing Self-Regulated Learners: Using Thoughtful Questioning to Support Metacognition, Dr Niki Kaiser has a moment of clarity during a tough swimming session
  • In How I use Embodied Learning – Two Case Studies from Secondary English Lessons, Harriet Griffiths and Sally Oliver talk us through their strategies to use movement and the body to support effective learning.

Focus on... Wensum English Hub

Our good friends at Wensum English Hub have an exciting programme of training and events to help your school achieve excellence in primary reading, writing, and language acquisition:

  • Teaching reading in KS2
  • Sensory stories
  • Early years authors
  • Supporting early language development.
