The teacher bulletin is the DfE’s email newsletter for schools. It provides news, guidance and advice, as well as useful resources and key information teachers need to know about. Subscribe today to receive regular updates.  

NPQ scholarship funding has been confirmed for the whole of the 2019/20 financial year (April 2019 to March 2020).

This means that:
Based on previous recruitment numbers, DfE will continue to fund the full offer up to the end of March 2020.
The eligibility criteria remain unchanged, i.e. participants working in a category 5 or 6 area, and those working in MATs or dioceses which cover those areas, will be eligible.

Opportunity Areas will continue to take priority.

Community Communication Champions Evaluation & Consultancy

https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e01592b9-607a-44ec-9536-b845ed80bb27

To support parents, Norwich OA have developed a strategy to support families with home learning.  This has included recruiting a team of Community Communication Champions who each work with a target ward in Norwich: University, Wensum, Mile Cross and Catton Grove.  Champions support neighbourhoods in each of these four wards and make introductions with parents least likely to engage with support and encourage/accompany them to group speech and language sessions in their local area.  Champions also provide resources, run group sessions within target neighbourhoods and link with local resources and support to stimulate language development in early years. We are looking for a provider to complete an evaluation of this innovative work.  The purpose of this evaluation and consultancy support is primarily to determine what difference the home learning interventions have made, and whether children and parents who have been involved in the activities feel and/or derive any benefit from them.
