Funded Opportunities 2020/21 Launched

Published: 24 October 2020
The 'Sheffield Programmes & Opportunities 2020/21' booklet has been launched containing a range of funded programmes for Sheffield schools and Academies. A twilight information session about the 'Making the Difference' programme will take place on Tuesday 3 November at 4:30pm.

Sheffield Programmes & Opportunities 2020/21 is a booklet of funded programmes for Sheffield schools and academies from Learn Sheffield, Sheffield City Council and a range of local and national partners. The ‘Sheffield Programmes & Opportunities 2020/21’ booklet has been designed to enable school leaders to compare and contrast these opportunities side by side.

The booklet contains the following opportunities:

 

  • Making the Difference – a partnership with the EEF focused on overcoming disadvantage.
  • SEND Peer Networks – a partnership with Whole Education focused on SEND school improvement.
  • Embedding Formative Assessment – a partnership with SSAT focused on improving outcomes through the development of teaching.
  • Sheffield CPD Excellence Hub – a partnership with the Teacher Development Trust focused on improvement through evidence-based professional learning.

 

These programmes are funded for Sheffield schools and academies (either fully funded or significantly subsidised). It is a requirement of these programmes that the school or academy makes the project they are engaging with their main focus (i.e. they couldn’t do two of them).

The Improving PE Project is also included in the booklet. This is a collaboration with the Sheffield PESSPA Alliance following a successful DfE bid with Mercia TSA which includes three offers of funded support for primary schools to improve teaching and support co-ordinators.

 

If you would like to express an interest in any of these programmes then please follow the link on the pack page to complete the short online form. The deadline for this is Friday 6 November.

This information and the booklet can be found on the Learn Sheffield website.

More information about the programmes (including short recordings from Marc Rowland and David Bartram) can be found in the Autumn 1 Leader Briefing
