Audit session and presentation

HEP would like to share the following message following the ‘Clean Air for Schools School Audits’ session that took place last week.

Thanks so much to colleagues who attended the audits session with Chris Cockburn. We hope it gave you a good overview of what we’re planning for and gave you the opportunity to ask any questions.

Here are a few quick key points:

  • Our goal is to audit every school. The Clean Air for Schools programme will run for at least the next 18 months and there is funding for every school in the borough
  • Audits will be totally free for schools, arranged and conducted by council staff
  • We aim to conduct the first audits in the new year, with a view to making our first recommendations in the spring
  • Funding of £5,000-£10,000 will be available to all schools participating in the audit programme, to aid the delivery of pollution mitigation recommendations
  • Additional support will be available by way of classroom sessions on pollution, idling, active travel, etc

Interested schools should contact the team, who will be in touch to arrange a visit:
chris.cockburn@hounslow.gov.uk
environmental.strategy@hounslow.gov.uk

Audits will consist of a visit to the school site by members of council staff, best if accompanied by a staff member who knows the location well.

What our members say

Ofsted Inspection Training – "Four days well spent! Supporting the development of our school under the guidance of a skilled trainer with a wealth of experience across the primary range was invaluable."

Primary Subject Networks – "The content in the sessions covers all aspects of high quality practice in Maths and it makes me reflective on my practice in class and how I lead and help develop other teachers."

Primary Subject Networks – "Meeting other subject leaders and sharing, makes me feel better about what we are delivering and that we are on the right track."

Develop your A level Teaching – "It was really nice to be able to talk to other A level German teachers as there aren’t very many and we could share our experiences."

Contingent Talk with Books – "Such a worthwhile project for Early Years, which you can see working right in front of your eyes. Well-planned and organised project, fantastic expert who inspires us all."

Get Hounslow Reading – "The biggest impact has been on our teachers’ enthusiasm for reading/books and their knowledge of high quality texts, finding innovative ways to engage readers through displays, book talk and story time."

Secondary Subject Networks – "There are so many useful takeaways from the meeting to help improve teaching and learning and they are things which can easily be put into place after the meeting."

Get Hounslow Reading – “There can be no doubt of the enthusiasm of Hounslow teachers and impact of their hard work on growing a Reading for Pleasure practice in their schools over this academic year. Many teachers said that the time to talk and share practice was what they valued most highly.” Charlotte Raby – Programme Facilitator

Secondary Subject Networks – “I really enjoy the content and the supportive group of fellow geography leaders discussing ideas in a non-judgmental, relatively informal way. The group certainly helps each other and fundamentally discusses relevant topics which are benefiting me.”

Get Hounslow Reading – "Very informative and helpful. A lovely chance to reflect. Excellent, enthusiastic delivery which would inspire anyone! You are very knowledgeable and sessions are well-organised. Thank you!”

Challenging Behaviour Training – “Great training, thank you for all your expertise and advice. I learnt lots of things about different ways that can affect pupils’ behaviour and how to deal with different situations."

Deep Dive Subject Leader Training – “Thank you for the very detailed and thorough subject leader checklist. It is an extremely useful and much necessary exercise. It's been an eye opener. Thank you”

Develop your A Level Teaching – “A much appreciated forum to apply pedagogy to a subject specific domain, with such rich professional talk after the keynotes in the Economics breakout session.”
