This course is comprised of a suite of pre-recorded presentations and a follow up webinar. Registered participants will be able to download a suite of pre-recorded presentations early in the 2026 Spring Term. It is recommended that schools then ensure senior leaders and all relevant members of staff have access to these presentations to ensure the school adopts a robust strategic approach to KS1 and KS2 statutory assessment and reporting processes. The suite of presentations will include the following:  

• Statutory Assessment overview 
• Assessment administration and maladministration 
• Teacher assessment and moderation, including pre key stage standards
• Data submission 
• EYFS 
• Statutory assessment overview for governors

• Statutory assessment updates since the publication of the suite of presentations
• A brief refresher on the key aspects schools should be considering prior to test administration and data submission 
• A question and answer session

Pupils will: 

• benefit from secure and robust assessment processes in their school 

• gain an insight into the assessment requirements for 2025/2026 
• be able to identify considerations and implications for their own school assessment arrangements

• be secure in their statutory assessment and reporting arrangements and processes for 2025/2026

Senior Leaders and Assessment Leaders

The fire safety training courses are designed to raise standards of fire safety and awareness in the workplace, reducing the chance of business closure, damage and loss of life. Fire safety training is mandatory for employers to train employees in fire safety and awareness. It is also a requirement to comply with Article 21, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

A practical demonstration will take place, along with training, on how to use a fire extinguisher and will include fire warden duties.

At the conclusion of this course, delegates will:

• recognise their responsibilities as part of your fire safety policy
• improve upon fire awareness of the workplace and at home
• identify fire hazards at work and appreciate the consequences of poor fire safety
• have gained practical fire fighting skills
• be aware of fire warden duties

This course would benefit any individuals in the workplace, building environments, public buildings, voluntary clubs, etc. 

Those who have a designated role as part of your fire safety policy (such as nominated Fire Wardens/Marshals, department heads, managers, health & safety representatives and/or facilities management).

This unique, innovative and practical workshop considers issues around setting up and maintaining the data on the schools’ SCR in the context of the regulations, guidance and best practice.

Course objectives include:

• To understand both the regulatory framework and best practice underpinning the format and content of the SCR
• To consider the categories of staff/workers that should be recorded on the SCR
• To explore options around format and content of the SCR
• To equip participants with a practical understanding of all pre-employment checks for school-based staff, volunteers, contractors and agency workers
• To help participants review their own school SCR and the related pre-employment checking processes

The SCR forms part of the regular Ofsted inspection.

Pupils will: 

• be supported by safer recruited staff 

Practitioners will: 

• benefit from a greater knowledge and practical understanding in maintaining the SCR
• have greater confidence in engaging with Ofsted around compliance

Settings will: 

• be safer organisations that can demonstrate greater compliance around pre-employment checks and verifications
