Bringing Reading Schools Closer Together

Disadvantaged network

Our Spring meeting for Inclusion, Pupil Premium and SEND Governors will be held on Wednesday, 11th March at The Wren School [click here for directions and parking], starting at 7pm and finishing by 8:30pm. Led by members of your RGA executive committee, with input from BFfC officers, topics to be covered are listed below, but time will also be reserved for attendees to raise their own issues for discussion and advice.

UPDATES FROM READING’S LEAD FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE LOOKED AFTER  RGA officers will share updates from Clare Houlton, which will summarise the top issues currently relevant to Reading schools, and signpost recent updates to guidance or best practice which we should be aware of.

ALTERNATIVE PROVISION SUPPORTING VULNERABLE CHILDREN  Ruth Carney, who co-founded the charity Jamie’s Farm, talks about how these farms have supported students who otherwise present some quite challenging and complex behaviour, social and emotional difficulties.

THE THERAPEUTIC BEHAVIOUR APPROACH  Are governors supporting and challenging the implementation of the TBA in your school?  How?  What impact has it had to date?

YOUR ISSUES If you have any items which you wish to raise at this event, which would benefit from others bringing along materials, please email us ahead of the event.
