      Assessment Across the Wider Curriculum 25-26 (Blended)

      This training aims to give leaders the opportunity to discuss principles of effective assessment and how these can be used practically to support assessment and its impact for foundation subjects. 

      The face-to-face sessions will each be followed up with a twilight session for all staff who lead a subject so the principles can be put into practice. A final session will enable schools to share the impact of the developments.

      The course has received strong praise for its clarity, impact, and thoughtful structure. Participants particularly valued the online twilight follow-up sessions, which offered continued support and helped translate learning into different school settings. 

      Designed with flexibility in mind, the course adapts to different stages of curriculum development, providing a personalised experience that aligns with your school's specific needs. 

      Aim to empower, inspire, and build your confidence through meaningful opportunities for reflection and professional development.
