On October 17, BDSIP held a full day course for Key Stage 1 teachers whose children are working on securing early reading skills.

On Monday, heads and senior leaders took the opportunity to hear from 3 primary headteachers who have recently undergone inspection since September.

Seven secondary schools sent Year 10 students to the Pathway’s to Oxford and Cambridge session at the Barking Learning Centre last Thursday, October 10. 

Last Tuesday, October 8, as part of the newly launched ‘Grown Up Me’ primary careers programme, 120 pupils form four schools (Five Elms, Riverside, Manor Longbridge and Thomas Arnold) gathered at the state-of-the-art the Future Youthzone for Inspire Leisure Industry.

Held on September 24, we had over 60 delegates on the day and a waiting list. The event was expertly led by Lesley Cox, former HMI and Ofsted national lead for SEND and inclusion. Lesley brings considerable expertise and flair in the new Ofsted framework and, as an experienced headteacher, the ability to relate it in practical terms to school leadership.
