The start of the new school year kicked off to a positive start, as all staff came together for two days of training.
The first day was hosted by ‘When The Adults Change, Everything Changes’ who delivered training on how adult behaviours and approaches can affect young people’s behaviour too. The training was held at the DoubleTree Hilton in Nottingham and also covered safeguarding updates and what schools should prioritise to improve.
Adrian O’Malley, Director of Education at R.E.A.L. said: “It was a really useful and thought provoking session. Staff laughed, staff cried and they left inspired, with many positive strategies to use with learners.”
The second training day was based on site at R.E.A.L. and featured a variety of curriculum-focused sessions, as well as planning and preparation for the term ahead.
Adrian said: “We’re passionate about supporting our learners, so it’s important to us that our staff are still learning too and these training days were an insightful and motivational start to a new school year.”
