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 …
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 (Progression and assessment in geography and history – part 2)
Since we did not have time for in-depth sharing and moderation of pupils’ work during our last meeting, it was requested that we gather again purely for this purpose. Despite it being the week after SATs and several teachers committed to previously booked residential visits or day trips, we managed to get a few of us together prior to the …
Primary Humanities Network meeting, Gloucestershire (Term 6)
Come and join us! ‘Useful to gain feedback on assessment.’ ‘Inspired to take next steps.’ ‘It has given me lots to think about.’ ‘Interesting. Informative. It was really reassuring to know that what we are being told in school is also being echoed by others.’ ‘Better understanding of geography within the new Ofsted Education Inspection Framework (EIF) and what a …

‘Useful to gain feedback on assessment.’ ‘Inspired to take next steps.’ ‘It has given me lots to think about.’ ‘Interesting. Informative.

Primary Humanities Subject Leaders’ Network meeting, Gloucester Farmers’ Club
Time for our next meeting already? Well, I wished to slot one in before SATs take over and teachers are unable to be released from schools, thus, with Easter being late and the May Bank Holiday fast approaching, the first week of Term 5 seemed to be my only chance. Once again, the Gloucester Farmers’ Club gave us a warm …
AQA GCSE Geography Network meeting , Marling School, Stroud, Gloucestershire
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pop along to Marling School this afternoon to hear Stacey Hill, AQA’s Head of Curriculum for Geography, speak about ‘Improving performance on key themes from summer 2018′. The session was divided into four parts, namely: Key outcomes of summer 2018: Including using geographical terminology. The use of stimulus material in GCSE …
