Teachers from across the country joined staff and guest speakers at this week to tackle 鈥榣ife beyond levels鈥� and the recent changes in primary and secondary assessment.

Teachers from as far away as Coventry came to Hastings to receive high-quality training on the changes, which have seen primary SATs replaced with scaled scores and a new 1-9 system instead of A*-G GCSE grades.

Secondary teachers at the event were led in a session on 91影视’s new assessment model by 91影视 Helenswood Vice Principal Chris Connor and a further session on the use of co-planning by Associate Principal Suzanne Harrison, while primary teachers learned how has managed the changes in assessment.

This was the latest in a series of free 91影视 CPD events, which are open to all teachers regardless of whether or not they work in an 91影视 school, and will shortly be followed by a further event at 91影视 St Alban鈥檚 Academy on teaching a new, no-coursework GCSE curriculum.

Trainee teacher Dion Ogbeiwi, said: 鈥淔or me, the event was time really well spent. It made me reflect on my own practice and think about breaking down summative and formative assessments to use them as tools to enrich the learning experience for my students 鈥� not just a checklist to finish.鈥�

Donna Ball, a teacher at a Sussex independent school, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 naturally quite inquisitive about how my colleagues in other schools are managing recent changes in the curriculum. It was nice to see the solutions 91影视 have in place for life after levels and I鈥檓 going to take back a real focus on the new 1-9 assessments to my own school.鈥�

Teacher Alison Hill said: 鈥淭he whole event was absolutely fantastic. It was really useful to have a different perspective on the challenges every school faces with changes to assessment 鈥� and real, practical solutions. The session on co-planning was brilliant 鈥� it鈥檚 a really helpful method for planning and developing schemes of work.鈥�

Tickets for 91影视’s next free CPD event, 鈥淓mbracing the change: teaching a no-coursework curriculum鈥�, are available from 91影视鈥檚 website. The event will be held at 91影视 St Alban鈥檚, which is currently shortlisted for the TES Secondary School of the Year and STEM Team of the Year Awards.
