Huish Community Learning Partnership

hclp Through the Huish Community Learning Partnership, we work together to raise the aspirations and achievements of all our pupils.

We are a member of the Huish Community Learning Partnership. It is the federation of Huish Episcopi Academy and its feeder primary schools, serving Langport and surrounding villages. The partnership educates children from Reception through to Upper Sixth Form. It is our belief that through working together, we will raise the aspirations and achievements of all our pupils.

Our members share these common strategic objectives:

Through collaboration and challenge.
Raise attainment within the partnership
Improve learning and teaching across a broad and balanced curriculum.
Share good practice, resources and policies

What joint activities and events take place to enhance learning throughout the partnership?

Each year the CLP write a development plan created from common areas from all the schools’ individual development plans. For this academic year, key areas are:

Improve standards in reading
Improve understanding and application of phonics
Develop leadership potential within staff
Increase provision for SEMH (social, emotional & mental health) pupils

For staff and adults in the partnership this will be achieved through:

Termly curriculum lead meetings (Literacy, maths, early years, SEN, ELSA & PE)
Programme of half termly subject leader meetings/training sessions incorporating all subjects throughout the year, externally facilitated by the Somerset Education Partnership
Termly moderation meetings for teachers from all year groups
Joint staff training

For children this may include:

Sports fixtures and festivals; opportunities to try a diversity of new sports
Theatre groups and opportunities to see plays

We have created a ‘core’ and enhanced offer for all our pupils. This is called our CLP passport.

Dyslexia Awareness

With Mark Long, Lead Advisory Teacher

Wednesday, 26^th February 2020

Dyslexia is a learning difference that affects 1 in 10 people. Individuals with dyslexia often find it challenging to develop reading and spelling fluency and can also have difficulty with remembering verbal instructions and learning sequences such as the alphabet, days of the week and times table facts.

This session provides an introduction to dyslexia. It explains why children with dyslexia can find reading, spelling and writing so challenging and describes strategies that can be used to help children improve in these areas.

Growth Mindset

With Dr Dawn Starley, Educational Psychologist

Wednesday, 25^th March 2020

Starting at 6:30pm, estimated end time 8pm

The beliefs children have about intelligence, effort, and struggle impact the choices they make about learning. Children with a fixed mindset believe that intelligence is fixed at birth and doesn’t change with practice. They see school as a place where abilities are evaluated and they interpret mistakes are a sign that they lack talent.

This session will help you help your child/ren to develop a growth mindset believing that intelligence can be developed. These students see school as a place to develop their abilities and think of challenges as opportunities to grow.
