Helping educators improve schools across Haringey and beyond
HEP Briefing
National guidance, Ofsted, public health and Haringey updates — each one summarised, with why it matters and what HEP recommends. The weekly HEP Tuesday email is curated from here.
From this summer’s results and SIP visits: writing is strong, maths greater depth is falling, reading progress for low prior attainers needs attention, attendance is recovering and SEND need is rising.
Ofsted has published changes to its school inspection handbook. The principal changes relate to how inspectors gather evidence on curriculum, inclusion and leadership capacity.
The DfE has updated its Working together to improve school attendance guidance, with new expectations on attendance data, persistent absence and working with families.
Revised guidance for safer working practice for adults who work with children has been published, covering online communication and low-level concerns.
Three Haringey schools share how they cut persistent absence by a quarter in a year, from first-day calls to attendance mentors.
