Capita Conferences announce details of their 2nd annual Raising Standards in Primary Conference

Sept. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- With the new English curriculum and the removal of assessment levels being implemented for the first time this September, our National Raising Standards in Primary English Conference is ideally timed to provide critical guidance on ensuring progress in English during this period of transition.

As the Department for Education looks to raise floor standards our event explores the common and transferrable features of successful provision and ensures that you are delivering ‘outstanding’ teaching and learning in your setting.

A keynote address from Ofsted and expert speakers will cover critical topics including; embedding spelling, punctuation and grammar, encouraging reading for pleasure, mapping progress within the new curriculum, closing gaps in achievement through targeted interventions and entrenching planning for talk across the curriculum to drive improvements in English and literacy.

Expert speakers:

Keynote: Marilyn Mottram, Deputy Lead,English and Literacy, Ofsted

Chair: Andrew Morrish, Chief Executive, Victoria Academies Trust

Chris Spruce, Headteacher, Heathland School

Llyn Codling, Executive Headteacher, Portswood Primary School and St Mary's Church of England School

Jared Brading, Headteacher, Sacred Heart Primary School
