Referrals and training offer –

HEP would like to share the following information and links with members:

Primary Pathways Family of Schools:

WPES are now accepting referrals for outreach support and Play Therapy and have additional capacity this term to support in schools. For schools who signed up before Easter 2021 for 2021-22, fees are reduced. Any school who is not a family member can spot purchase outreach and Play Therapy at full cost.

Family member schools – please never hesitate to get in touch with The Bridge should you need to discuss general behaviour issues or need to talk through a specific case you need advice on. This is completely free and available to all member schools. Together we can find a way forward through a problem.

The next Pathways Off-site Intervention Programme starts soon – if any member school wishes to discuss the possibility of getting a pupil onto this before it commences, please get in touch with Helen Tyzack as soon as possible. Any school who is not a family member can purchase off-site intervention at £195 per day.

Secondary Schools:

Gateway is open and able to take referrals for up to 12 weeks for respite and early intervention. Please try to give as much notice as possible when sending in a referral – Corinne Logan is the contact for this. Gateway can be used creatively to support schools with complex situations; for example – a pupil can attend Gateway for specific days in a week over a period of time to break the mainstream week up for them. (Gateway Mon, Weds, Fri – mainstream Tues, Thurs).

Gateway PLUS is also accessible for Years 7-11. This is a minimum of 4 weeks and can be used for a whole school year. This package sees a pupil attend one of our main sites as any other pupil, going into classes, accessing all intervention staff and resources. The pupil is dual registered with WPES and the mainstream school. This intervention is effective as a last attempt by a school to prevent a permanent exclusion. Again, we can support a school by using Gateway PLUS creatively with a pupil attending one of sites for specific days, and attending their mainstream school for the other days. This helps break the week up. Gateway PLUS referrals should go to Ian Berryman.

Should schools simply need to discuss behaviour concerns or a specific situation with a pupil, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Ian Berryman who will be more than happy to listen and advise on options.

Training Offer for school staff:

From 20th September, WPES is able to welcome colleagues from other schools into centres for a day to observe and learn from experienced professionals who support vulnerable, often aggressive and challenging children and young people every day. The best CPD is being present in a context and being able to have a professional discussion about the techniques being deployed and how they can be applied elsewhere. This offer is free to Primary Pathways Family Members and comes with a small cost for all other schools. Please contact Milli Cowling if a school is interested in any staff member taking up this offer: ucowling2.313@lgflmail.org

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.”
