A warm welcome awaited us at the Gloucestershire Heritage Hub (https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/heritage-hub/) on Thursday 16th January 2020 for our third Primary Humanities Network meeting of this academic year. Previous Wi-Fi issues had been resolved, so we were able to use the new Dunrossil Centre as our base for the afternoon. Despite many schools being involved in Young Voices, the turnout was still …

Our second meeting of this academic year, with the theme of ‘Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and the 3Is – Part 2’, was again held at the newly refurbished Gloucestershire Heritage Hub (https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/heritage-hub), thanks to their very kind offer to host the event and supply complimentary refreshments. Instead of being in the Dunrossil Centre, we were based in the Frith …
Edward Feild Primary School, Kidlington, Oxfordshire
Well, it was certainly beyond county for me today; a trip to Kidlington, just north of the city of Oxford, to deliver some bespoke CPD on behalf of the Geographical Association (GA) (https://www.geography.org.uk/) (and not an easy or pleasant one given the snow and localised flooding). The remit that I was given from the GA prior to half-term was ‘To …
British Council Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning: Critical thinking and problem solving course (Day 1)
Well, it was back to the recently refurbished and superb Gloucestershire Heritage Hub today; this time to deliver Day 1 of the British Council Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning: Critical thinking and problem solving course, as opposed to steering a Primary Humanities Network meeting. This was the first time that I have delivered such training in Gloucester, so it was good …
Primary Humanities Network meeting (Gloucestershire Heritage Hub)
A different venue to our usual one! At a previous Network meeting, John Putley, Hub Facilities Manager, very kindly offered to host one of our future gatherings at the new Gloucestershire Heritage Hub, so I took him up on this straightaway! I led a HLF WWW1 school and community groups’ project back in 2014-2015 and had a lot of dealings …
Whole staff twilight CPD (Lainesmead Primary School and Nursery, Swindon)
This afternoon saw me venture across the border into Wiltshire to deliver a twilight CPD to all staff at Lainesmead Primary School and Nursery (http://www.lainesmeadprimaryschool.org.uk/) in Swindon. The theme for today’s session was ‘Progression and assessment in geography and history’, something that I have delivered several times before, but am continually updating due to the current changes in education, e.g. …
Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and the 3Is (intent; implementation and impact)
It was back to school for me today; time to deliver training, based on Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and the 3Is (intent; implementation and impact), to all staff at Al-Ashraf Secondary School for Girls in Gloucester. Firstly, I introduced the aims of the session: To be more informed about the processes and procedures of inspection now undertaken by …
‘Intent, implementation and impact: History within the broad and balanced curriculum’ (University of Gloucestershire)
Well, it was rather nice to attend a conference today and be able to just sit back and listen, rather than having to present! I have not been to an event like this at the University of Gloucestershire before. However, their flier suggested that we were in for a treat: ‘A one day course for primary teachers (KS1 and KS2), history …

Primary Humanities Network meeting (Tom Roberts Adventure Centre [TRAC], near Newent, Gloucestershire)
Not quite the weather that I had hoped for, but we managed! The theme for our final meeting of this academic year was ‘Taking learning outside the classroom‘. After welcoming individuals, I shared the aims and format of the session. The intention was for majority of this session to be held outside at the Tom Roberts Adventure Centre (TRAC) (https://www.tracnewent.org.uk/); …
