The Data Threads
Making data work for your pupils
School Data - Making the Case
This is a workshop aimed at a whole staff cohort. The idea with this will be to engage all teachers with the need to collect, analyse and use data in their classes. The session would be set up so as to establish the need and value for data in a classroom setting.
The Audit
This is a workshop to review and rationalise the data landscape that exists in a school or college. This will be aimed at creating a framework for the delegates to use and develop on their return to the workplace.
Data Engagement - Staff
This is a workshop to review and develop strategies to build engagement among key stakeholders on the issues of data within your school or college setting. This will be aimed at creating a framework and action plan for the delegates to begin implementing across their setting.
Data Engagement - parents
This is a workshop focused squarely on managing the relationship with parents around school data. This is one of the most complex areas of data management and requires a very nuanced approach. It is context specific, but there are ways to get all parties working together. If you do that, the child is the ultimate beneficiary.
AI - how to use it in school
This is a workshop to examine and explore the risks and benefits of using AI in a school setting. We work with teachers and SLT and students where appropriate, to help you develop an effective approach to and deployment of AI in your school. This will encompass how this can integrate with your school's data landscape.
data Best Practice - beyond the basics
This is a workshop is designed to build on existing practice and ensure that good practice is embedded throughout your school. Specifically, we look at standardised data and your own school generated data, how to triangulate data effectively and how to interpret data appropriately. This is a hands on, activity based workshop. It can include the use of live data from your school.
The Literacy Threads
Bringing literacy to life in your school
Transforming Reading Culture
This workshop for teachers, librarians and school leaders provides the knowledge and practical strategies to maximise the impact of libraries--both whole-school and classroom-based--as powerful tools for reading development, curriculum enrichment, and lifelong learning. It explores how well-curated, inclusive, and accessible libraries can support literacy, wellbeing and equity
Creating a Culture of Reading
This workshop empowers support staff, teachers and school leaders to embed a strong, research-informed Reading for Pleasure (RfP) ethos across their schools. It draws on key findings from the UKLA, the Open University’s RfP research, and national curriculum guidance, demonstrating how a love of reading supports academic achievement, emotional wellbeing, and lifelong learning.
Engaging Families
This CPD training equips teachers and school leaders with strategies to foster meaningful and collaborative partnerships with parents and carers to enhance children’s reading development.
Recognising parents as vital partners in reading, the session explores ways to engage families, share knowledge, and create supportive home reading environments.
