The Pupil Premium and Ofsted - Ensuring Successful Outcomes

Join SecEd & Headteacher Update for their 8th must-attend one-day conference being held at The Gallery, the NEC, Birmingham B40 1NT on Friday 29th September 2017

Following on from the success and popularity of our previous seven Pupil Premium conferences, the 8th national 'Pupil Premium and Ofsted - Ensuring Successful Outcomes' conference will once again bring together a great mix of innovative schools, pioneering headteachers, senior leaders, teachers and educationalists to offer a range of deliverable, evidence-based, practical approaches and strategies to support raising attainment, overcoming barriers to success and narrowing the gap for disadvantaged pupils.

With Pupil Premium funding being firmly embedded and protected from budget cuts, and with schools facing ongoing and evolving challenges on how to spend and allocate this effectively, the conference will draw upon a wide range of different schools’ experiences, provide broad focus on a number of different interventions, whole-school strategies, the implementation of effective systems in different types of schools, use and generation of data, ensuring Ofsted readiness and much more.

The combination of speakers and interactive workshops will provide insight into ways in which the Pupil Premium can be spent effectively and how schools can prepare for and meet Ofsted inspection requirements in relation to the Pupil Premium. The event is designed to allow you to return to your schools with new ideas to put into practice straightaway.
