This training bundle, which is perfect for INSETs, staff meetings and twilights, contains engaging and collaborative training materials plus real-life attendance scenarios to meet your attendance CPD needs.
Each one contains a three-stage situation that mimics the types of attendance issues that schools may encounter.

Lastly, staff can view the resolution and consider the next steps.
The scenarios cover the following topics:

Finance
Sickness-Related Absence
Substance Addiction
Young Carers
Each scenario has an accompanying PowerPoint that details the scenario in parts and the key questions for discussion, allowing them to be used interactively during a staff meeting, INSET or twilight.
Furthermore, there’s a PowerPoint called Working Together to Improve Attendance which highlights the key parts from the DfE’s own document that are applicable to teachers and support staff. This allows your team to gain a deeper understanding of why good attendance is important for every single pupil as well as considering the role that all staff have to play in reducing pupil absence.

Support staff in tackling inappropriate language in your school with this engaging and thought-provoking CPD session. Ideal for school leaders and those with oversight of behaviour, this PowerPoint allows you to present effective CPD to teachers, teaching assistants and others to look at why pupils use inappropriate language, how staff can prevent it and how best to address it when it does occur.

Going beyond the issue of just swearing, the training session allows you to explore different root causes, such as peer pressure, safeguarding or a simple misunderstanding, and gives practical strategies on how to address bad language in line with your school’s behaviour policy.
The PowerPoint is fully editable but equally can be used ‘as is’ to present directly to the staff members of your choosing. Each slide is carefully crafted to keep staff engaged with prompt questions and considerations for your school.
