Poverty Proofing the School Day

12th Nov 2015

No school can be rated outstanding if it is not supporting its most disadvantaged children. Looking beyond Pupil Premium, this event will explore the practical steps that schools can take on a day to day basis to tackle poverty and prevent inequality.
 

This event will seek to address the following issues:

• How can you ensure your school’s policy and practice doesn’t inadvertently discriminate against families with less financial resources?
• How can you ensure that planned activity doesn’t make assumptions about family resources?
• What are the hidden costs families face relating to school attendance?
 

Speakers include Sara Bryson, Policy & Research Manager at Children North East and representatives from North East schools who can share their experiences and give practical examples of what works.
 

Date: Thursday 12 November 2015
Time: 12.30 – 3.30pm (with an optional networking lunch 12.00 – 12.30pm)
Venue: Inspire2Learn, Redcar and Cleveland, TS6 9AE
 

The cost of attendance is £15+VAT for SCHOOLS NorthEast Partner Schools and £30+VAT for all other schools. If you are not already a member and would like to find out more about our Partner School Scheme, please do get in touch.
