New website for parents to boost child's learning and wellbeing this summer We've launched a brand new site, designed especially for parents, with the support, information and resources they need to help their children enjoy the summer holidays and prepare for the next academic year. The site features links to programmes, activities, resources and videos to boost children's learning and wellbeing aimed at parents of 0-19 year olds, with extra information for parents of SEND children. Please share this site with families and carers in your school community. Families can also explore themed activities in their local area and nationally with the Rediscover Summer campaign, from sport and creativity to nature and heritage. Results days - support for parents and carers The National Careers Service is providing a series of webinars for parents and carers whose children are receiving results this August, to give advice on options and tips for helping their child prepare for results day. Please share this with parents and carers in your school community. Friday 30 July, 12pm Tuesday 3 August, 4pm Wednesday 4 August, 12pm Get your pupils involved with Cup26! Ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) this autumn, we're encouraging schools to take part in an exciting nationwide tournament, Cup26, that uses the fun of football to encourage children and families to take direct action on climate. The tournament will kick off on 6 September and run until COP26 takes place, in mid-November. Schools will receive a pack of curriculum resources including 90 lesson plans covering a range of subjects across KS1, KS2 and KS3, promotional materials and opportunities to connect home-based activities with in-school learning. Summer tutoring for your pupils The National Tutoring Programme 2020/21 is available during the summer holidays, either in-schools if your school is open and running a summer school, or online at home. There is flexibility with tutoring arrangements, with the option of starting sessions before the end of term and completing over the summer holidays, or alternatively for all sessions to take place during the summer holidays. You can email partners@nationaltutoring.org.uk if you have any questions. Fun learning for pupils with Oak this summer Oak National Academy's newly launched Summer Learning Support package offers optional lessons, formative tools and creative and active enrichment resources to help prepare pupils for next year. It can all be accessed by pupils with no charges for data, as mobile networks will continue to keep Oak's site data free all summer. Dr Alex George's ways to wellbeing We have worked with our Youth Mental Health Ambassador, Dr Alex George, on a series of wellbeing videos based on his five core 'ways to wellbeing,' which build on content already in the relationships, sex and health education curriculum. We are encouraging all education settings, including summer schools and Holiday Activities and Food programme providers, to download the videos and supporting resources and deliver them throughout the summer holidays, so children can better understand how to look after their own mental health and wellbeing. |
