    • Intensive Training and Practice (ITAP) at Finham Park School

      Published 08/11/24

      Lots of trainees gathered at Finham Park School this week to receive intensive training on Literacy in the curriculum as part of Warwick University's teacher training program.

      The training provides an opportunity to intensify the focus on specific, pivotal areas. Intensive training and practise builds powerfully the link between evidence-based theory and practise. This means that intensive training and practise is led and supported by a range of experts such as those through The Lion Alliance. Because the main aim is to strengthen the link between evidence-based classroom practise, some elements of intensive training and practise takes place in a school environment like Finham Park School.

      Staff have visited over 150 lessons since the start of term as part of the school’s Instructional Coaching model for school and classroom improvement. Part of the approach is for teachers to ‘shout out’ to each other through our shared online tracking tool so that when excellence is observed, colleagues can improve and consistently deliver better educational experiences for children and young people. Coaching conversations are recorded and the next ‘significant lever’ for improvement is discussed; everyone has something they can learn.

    • Welcome back - 'Doing the Basics... really well'

      Published 07/09/24

      1,760 pupils and over 200 members of staff were welcomed back to Finham Park School this week. With the first week's attendance over 95% across the school, a strong start was made by pupils.

      Students with over 95% attendance achieve better educational outcomes than students with less than this attendance. That equates to only 9 school days throughout the academic year when a student can be absent. Indeed, some students are never absent and are celebrated regularly as part of the school's 100% attendance club.

      A new parent/carer app was launched at the start of term called, 'My Child at School'. This new app enables parents to see live information during the day about their child's attendance and behaviour as well as streamlining communication with the school and reporting on progress checks.

      Families are checking their child's uniform over this weekend to ensure that it fits correctly as outlined below.
