  1. C8 Innovation Project

  2. Aim of the project • To support pupils from vulnerable groups by focussing on family support so that pupils are effectively challenged and supported to successfully make “better than expected” progress in their learning.

  3. Finance • The bid was for £28 000 • Each school was given a guidance sheet on the possible financial commitments but it would be adapted as the project developed.

  4. Planning Stages • Initial group planning meetings • Back to school discussions to clarify projects • Group meetings to discuss ideas and identify collaborations/ school to school support available • Discussion of how to measure impact/ development of questionnaires etc. • Back to school to start projects • Review meetings to share progress to date and impact identified (where appropriate)

  5. Projects • Alexandra Juniors – Parental engagement across a range of targeted groups within the school • Chatsworth – helping Polish parents support their children with Letters and Sounds • Spring Grove - helping Polish parents support their children with Letters and Sounds • Hounslow Town – Increasing engagement in reading in Year 5 (particularly ‘white other’ boys)

  6. Isleworth Town- Increasing confidence and attainment in maths for girls • Ivybridge – Developing relationships and increased engagement with the Afghan Community • Smallberry Green – Family Learning Project - English • Worple – Developing relationships and increased engagement with the Somali Community

  7. Impacts and Challenges to date • Some schools have already been able to demonstrate good or better progress for pupils engaged in their projects • The self-esteem and confidence of pupils engaged in projects has been increased • Parental feedback has been very positive where parents remained engaged throughout a project including an increase in their own knowledge and confidence • Staff confidence and understanding developed

  8. Impacts and Challenges to date • Parents have asked for similar projects to include more children • Some parents approached did not make the commitment to become or remain engaged in a project • Producing quantifiable data to measure impact was a challenge for several of the projects

  9. Additional Successes • Cross school relationships have been established and used not just in support of these projects but as useful contacts and resources for other projects • Shared resourcing when requested • Knowledge of strengths and skills across the C8

  10. What next? • Projects to reach their conclusion and impact measured where this has not already happened • Debriefing meeting for all innovation projects • Schools to decide if they would like to run projects already run in the group and sharing of resources • Further collaboration between schools and the staff of the schools
