Research and Development
R&D TMA and Research and Development We are embarking on a significant push to put Research and Development at the heart of what we do as an alliance. Millais School has two newly appointed Research Leader s who will focus on this area of our remit; Jennie Doyle (Director of Learning for Humani es ) and Helen Sykes (Director of Learning for the Crea ve and Expressive Arts). They will both be taking an MA in Educa on and we look forward to them both promo ng R&D, working in collabora on with our alliance Research and Development Team. Mil‐
lais School has also joined the Sussex Research Network with 7 other schools who we look forward to sharing best prac ce with over the coming years. This partnership was conceived and set up by Sussex University. Evidence Based Teaching What is EBT? "Evidence‐based teaching" has a similar meaning to "Evidence‐based medicine". It applies high standards of evidence before a teaching method is recommended. It has a lot in common with the use of evidence in law, history and cri cal thinking. Not evidence‐based A lot of advice and prac ce in educa on is not evidence based. This includes: 
Authority: "Professor Jones has shown...."; "It's in the Na onal Strategy" 
Anecdote: "When I was at school we...."; "They do this at our school and they get good results." 
Habit: "We've always done it this way"; 
Polls: "86% of the pupils said they had learnt more..." Poor evidence Classroom experiments which have: 
a very short me scale 
few students involved 
no control group (to compare) 
lessons taught by the experimenters 
only one teacher involved Sources of good evidence 
Classroom experiments conducted with control groups. 

Research and Development Evidence based teaching Evidence Based Teaching: Advancing Capability and Capacity for Enquiry in Schools ‐ new NCTL Project Jennie Doyle—School Research Leader writes about our latest R&D project……. Millais TSA has successfully bid to take part in a Na onal College project which is fo‐
cused on developing best prac ce on how to embed evidence based teaching (EBT). The project is being run by Manchester Metropolitan University for the NCTL. The focus of the project is to inves gate which approaches to suppor ng EBT have the most impact on TSAs in rela on to developing staff capability and capacity, and un‐
der what condi ons. So far we have a ended an ini al informa on session before the project gets properly started in September. Over the coming months interested col‐
leagues from schools within the Alliance will be invited to get more involved in EBT as we look at how we can improve teaching and learning by using an evidence based ap‐
proach. Colleagues will have the opportunity to take part in ac on research within the classroom and also by engaging further with current academic research. 3
Leadership This year two successful ‘in‐house’ leadership courses have been organised and led by Jules White. Aspiring Head Teachers saw a colleague move into a new role as a Headteacher and Aspiring Deputy Heads resulted in promo on for two colleagues who became Deputy Head Teachers. The year ended with a student leadership conference held at Tanbridge House on the theme of ‘Leadership and Morality’; Year 9 & 10 pupils from Tanbridge House were joined by students from Millais, Forest, Davison, The Weald and St Wilfrid’s and given the opportunity to ask their own ques‐
ons to a panel in a bid to inspire po‐
ten al leaders of the future. The pan‐
el, chaired by Mr Marshallsay, one of the Assistant Headteachers at Tan‐
bridge, consisted of five prominent local figures, all of whom are success‐
ful leaders in their chosen professions. They were Francis Maude – MP/Minister for the Cabinet Office; Gary Shipton ‐ Editor in Chief of the Sussex Newspapers Group; Judith Har‐
ding ‐ Programme Director at BT Retail Innovate & Design; David Corcoran – Head of Student Support & Wellbeing at the University of Chichester and Mark Sowerby ‐ Bishop of Horsham.

Science Learning Partnership (SLP) Many of you may be unaware that the Na onal Science Learning Centre, based in York, has devolved into five re‐
gional consor a, each one spread across a wide geograph‐
ical area, and each run by a different bid winner. Millais falls within London and the South East, which is managed by the University of Her ordshire at Bayfordbury. We are the Lead School within a Science Learning Partnership (SLP) that covers East & West Sussex including: Imberhorne School, East Grinstead East Grinstead Uplands Community College, Wadhurst St Richards Catholic College, Bexhill Uckfield Community College, Uckfield Thomas a Becket Middle School, Worthing Bishop Luffa, Chichester Collyers Sixth Form College, Horsham These schools were chosen because of their historical passion for science and their geo‐
graphical spread across the big expanse of all Sussex. The Partnership is lead by Rik Clay, who is an Assistant Director of Learning at Millais School and a teacher of science and physics. He is also seconded to the University of Brighton for one day a week to coach PGCE students currently on the Physics with Maths course. We also have to compete with the University of Southampton who run their courses with‐
in our geographical area at St Pauls Catholic College in Burgess Hill. Each SLP chooses the courses they wish to run each term from an established programme organised by York. On page 6 are the courses we are running for the Au‐
tumn term. There are bursaries (impact awards) of 50% available for all courses. All are bookable centrally via the Science Learning Cen‐
tre website. We are aware that the booking process is a bit creaky and wouldn’t want this to be a barrier to a endance, so please email Caroline Carroll [email protected] if you want to a end a course and are finding booking onerous. 5

Science Enthuse Cluster Group
During this term we have focused on the assessment of scien fic enquiry and moderated pupil work using APP across the different strands. This has been a very helpful exercise and Barry Pollard from Kingslea has been instrumental in preparing guidelines and leading us through this. He and Ann Cook from St Peter’s Primary School in Cowfold a ended the Annual Prac cal Primary Science Conference ‐ Assessing Primary Science: Out with Levels, in with Learning and fed back to the group at our last mee ng of the term. Following this we have decided to trial the assessment materials and to bring marked pupil work to our next mee ng in November. We will also con nue with teaching science through the 5 types of Scien fic Enquiry and plan to apply this approach to new topics in the New Primary Curriculum. A job for next year! Two schools borrowed equipment from Millais to use in their Science Week and Pauline Henshall from Millais spent an a ernoon at St Robert’s Southwell where the students were inves ga ng the genera on of electricity using fans, voltmeters and anemometers. Do contact us if you would like to borrow equipment or make use of a teacher….. we are very willing to support any school in their delivery of science. During the year we have become a strong team, all enthusias c about promo ng scien‐
fic enquiry in our schools and enthusing our students by “maintaining curiosity” (the theme of the latest Ofsted Report on Science teaching). In 2015 we hope to share our work through the Science Subject Network mee ngs. Pauline Henshall 7
SEND In September 2014, subject to parliamentary approval, the 0 to 25 special educa onal needs and disabili es (SEND) code of prac ce will come into force. Discussions with heads, SENCOs and parents have highlighted that many good and out‐
standing schools are ahead in terms of their prepara ons for the reforms. However, schools in the alliance may need support, in par cular to prepare all of their teaching staff for the reforms and to engage parents. The Department for Educa on (DfE) has invested £5 million to help schools prepare for implementa on of the reforms from 1 September using the dra code of prac ce. We are working with schools in our alliance to use this funding to: 



Encourage all teaching staff to make use of the new SEND Gateway, an online portal offering free, easy access to high quality informa on, resources and training for mee ng the needs of children with SEND. Work with Compass, a support hub a ached to the QEII school but independent from it. The hub is offering a range of courses to support teachers in aspects of SEND and interested teachers can find these adver sed on ePD. Con nue to offer courses to support SENCOs— New to SENCO and Aspiring SENCO courses are being run by the alliance. (Register for these on ePD) Ensure parents understand what the reforms will mean for their child ‐ schools should contact the local Parent Carer Forum or visit Achievement for All for advice and support on the best ways to engage parents. If you have any queries about SEND, support is available on GOV.UK. 8
CPD Subject Network mee ngs With over 250 a endances at a wide range of subject network mee ngs, colleagues are increasingly recognising the benefits of taking part in these and gaining new skills, ideas and resources to help them in their work back at school. Collabora on is the key with par cipants o en giving very generously of their me and materials to others – whilst many are developing resources together using the mee ngs as an opportunity to “touch base” and get some input and feedback on their work. 12 schools and local sixth forms now have representa on at the mee ngs and this is con nuing to grow. Look out for our bulle n which comes out in early September and which should support an even broader and wider reaching a endance at the network mee ngs. This will include the names of each Link Facilitator for every subject or network group plus the dates of at least 3 mee ngs over the course of the next academic year – get these in your diary early! The main aim of the CPD Strategic Team is that the mee ngs should serve the needs of the par cipants and be delivered by par cipants or by arranging external speakers to enhance subject knowledge and lesson design. Our thanks go to every Link Facilitator for making this happen and all other colleagues who have hosted mee ngs and / or presented in their own schools. Interested? Just sign up through e‐PD or by contac ng the Link Facilitators directly. As one colleague said, “I wish I’d known about the mee ngs long before now – they are invaluable for my own CPD in my subject – and saving me loads of me preparing materials as we are doing this jointly.” Absolutely everyone is invited to a end the relevant mee ng in their subject. What’s not to like? Teachmeet We are delighted to announce that our first Millais Alliance Teachmeet was a huge success. This was or‐
ganised by Forest and Millais colleagues jointly and welcomed over 50 colleagues to Millais for an evening of CPD, networking, great prizes in our prize draw as well as good cheer, great food and of course a drop of wine! Will Smith from PiXL gave an inspiring key‐
note speech to get us in the mood and this was fol‐
lowed by 6 excellent short presenta ons delivered by colleagues from both schools. These covered a variety of topics including: Demonstra ng Progress in the Classroom to Moving Teaching from Good to Out‐
standing – plus lots more. A huge thanks must go to all those who a ended, everyone involved with the behind the scenes organisa on and all our presenters. We hope a sample of the feedback comments below might en ce you to take part in our next Teachmeet in Decem‐
ber – either to a end or to present! “Loads of great ideas for improving my lessons ‐ especially short, engaging approaches.” “Lots of fantas c ideas to try in the classroom” “Really interes ng ideas about management styles to impact on pupil progress.” “Increasing pupil engagement – such a wide range of ideas – I was thinking all the me!” “Really got me thinking about the impact of emo ons on students’ engagement. Liked the WAGOLL.” We also used the evalua ons to give us ideas about what range of sessions colleagues would like some input on at our next Teachmeets in December and July. We welcome your ideas and input too. Anyone interested should contact either: Sue Kelly ‐ [email protected] Sco Swi ‐ sswi @theforestschool.com or Faye Hatchard ‐ [email protected] 9
Twi er: @MillaisAlliance The Alliance has a Twi er account with a Genera on X handler who is rapidly ge ng the hang of the techno beat. Twi er, of course, works best if those you are trying to inform are your Twi er ‘followers’ ‐ they then automa cally see your tweets and are able to retweet those messages themselves to their own followers. It’s like the pyramid selling of the eigh es. Controversial statements or comments on educa onal policy spark the greatest interest and generate a Twi er trend (ie #teachersma er). The review reports sent each week demonstrate the way in which 140 well‐honed char‐
acters can impact on a wider audience. Those of us who remember the précis sec on of school comprehension may appreciate this as a forerunner to Twi er; the art of manipu‐
la ng many ideas and long winded explana ons into just a few succinct words! SO…A KEY MESSAGE TO OUR ALLIANCE PARTNERS: FOLLOW US AND PLEASE RETWEET. WHAT MAY NOT BE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO YOUR SCHOOL, MIGHT BE OF INTEREST TO OTHER COLLEAGUES, OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AND BEYOND. IT ALSO SPREADS THE WORD ABOUT ALL ALLIANCE ACTIVITIES SO EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM OUR COLLABORATIVE WORK.

ITT School Direct
Another busy year with School Direct and applica ons are s ll coming in. Some schools are interviewing this week and will keep places open over the summer while others have re red from the SD arena un l we start again in October. We started the year with 38 places, lost six early on leaving 32, then a further four dropped reducing our number to 28. We later gained five in May bringing the final total to 33. Of these we have filled 20 which is 60%. Weak recruitment subjects have been Maths, DT, Music and MFL. Strong subjects have been Pri‐
mary, PE, Chemistry, Dance, History and English. Computer Science applica ons are picking up—last year we had no applica ons at all, this year we have filled two of our four places. The School Experience pro‐
gramme has made funding available for both Computer Science and DT, and this should slowly start to produce further applicants who have had some valid classroom experience. Next Year’s bids/alloca ons Bidding for alloca ons for 2015‐2016 closed on 3rd July. Our final number was for 54 places, split amongst 14 schools and across three HEI providers. We are growing. We will not hear un l some me in October which bids have been successful (date as yet unspecified) but hope that the size of our partner‐
ship will help as NCTL have already indicated to lead schools. Funding details for each subject are re‐
leased a er the alloca ons, leaving an approximate two week window for schools to rid themselves of troublesome places before UCAS and School Direct open on 28th October. The biggest change this year has been for our HEI partners; they have had a clear message that sup‐
por ng School Direct means that their core PGCE bids will be looked upon more favourably. This di‐
rec ve was issued by NCTL in the Alloca ons Manual this June: Universi es have an important part to play in a rac ng high‐quality applicants and delivering ITT pro‐
grammes for their partnerships as well as providing the training required for School Direct. We will con nue to allocate places directly to higher educa on ins tu ons (HEIs) for the 2015 to 2016 academ‐
ic year. Nonetheless we want HEIs to deliver programmes that meet school needs and, to encourage this, we intend to give preference to those universi es most involved with School Direct when allo‐
ca ng provider‐led places. Our priority is to develop a school‐led system for ITT. We intend to give more weight to requests for provider‐led places from those ITT providers that have engaged par cularly effec vely with School Direct. Finally, many thanks to all who have supported me at the Train to Teach Recruitment roadshows this year—it all starts again in October.

Post ITT Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE)
For the past two years, NCTL have fund‐
ed a number of HEIs to deliver subject knowledge enhancement training to support schools to address workforce capacity challenges in shortage subjects, tradi onally secondary maths, physics, chemistry and modern foreign lan‐
guages. The programme provided sub‐
ject knowledge training to a level that would be required to achieve QTS to qualified teachers who did not train in their SKE subject. The NCTL vision is to work with schools to develop an educa on system in which teacher and leader‐
ship training, con nuous professional development and school‐to‐school support are delivered locally by partnerships led by the best headteachers. The NCTL decided to re‐align the post‐ITT SKE pro‐
gramme for academic year 2014‐15 to support this vision. These will now no longer be available di‐
rectly through HEIs but through school led programmes. Building teacher capacity through post ini al teacher training (ITT) subject knowledge enhancement (SKE) – a school led model The NCTL has grant funded a test and learn project of up to 20 Teaching School Alliances to develop and deliver a range of cross‐phase post‐ITT SKE provision in shortage subjects, par cularly maths, phys‐
ics, chemistry, modern languages, compu ng and primary maths, for qualified teachers who did not train in their SKE subject, to meet local/regional capacity needs. This approach aligns with school based research and evidence based teaching, making effec ve use of exis ng rela onships across teaching schools and building on exis ng capacity and exper se within the system (e.g. HEIs, SLEs, MESH Hubs, Regional Science Learning Centres), building on good prac ce to ensure sustainable models. The Millais Alliance, supported by Brighton University, successfully bid for funding to develop courses in mathema cs, physics and compu ng for teachers across the alliance who wish to re‐train in any of these shortage subjects. Planning and development of the courses will start in September with a view to offering the courses as soon as possible in mid autumn term. If any school has teachers who they think would benefit from re‐training in any of the three key sub‐
jects they should contact Caroline Carroll to register interest and get further informa on. Shirley Springer Teaching School Director 12
Taste Teaching Morning—8th July This pilot session was organised at short no ce following a paragraph in the 2012 House of Commons Educa on Commi ee notes sta ng: Ten Year 12 students from Collyers expressed an interest and were accommodated by Mil‐
lais, North Heath Primary, Leechpool Primary, St Peter’s Cowfold and QEII Special School. Many thanks to those schools for offering to host them—Primary is very popular! Below are some of the comments from the evalua ons: “Having this experience has made me think about my future job role as I am now interested in working with children who have special needs. “ “It was nice to be able to go into a different (smaller) primary school as the school I have previously been in is very big. It was good to be in a classroom with a male teacher as it was interes ng and useful to see how the children react differently with a male influence.” “I have experienced a classroom environment through the eyes of a teacher instead of a student. It has also shown me how teachers and students have to work together in order for a lesson to be taught effec vely. “ “It has confirmed that I would like to be a teacher as I really enjoyed the visit and the chal‐
lenges I came across. It has highlighted how hard it is though, and how much care and me teachers put in.” We will be organising this again in October, and then every October. We look forward to con nuing to work closely with primary schools willing to host students and will be in touch shortly to arrange future visits. Caroline Carroll 13
Primary Resources Please see the link below to the website for ALL (Associa on of Language Learning), which is hos ng the Na onal Curriculum support informa on, resources and guidance for Primary Languages h p://www.all‐languages.org.uk/support These resources have been chosen by members of the DfE Expert Panel and members of the ALL Primary Special Interest group as ones that have been used in their own schools. They include a variety of commercial as well as non‐
commercial resources, publica ons, free websites and online materials for de‐
veloping cultural awareness. We still need Alliance school photographs! Do you have school photographs we can use in our marketing materials? We are always in need of photos from our alliance schools of pupils and teaching staff so that we can reflect the range of schools we work with. This is a plea particularly to any new alliance school. If you want your school to be represented in our newsletters and brochures please send any photographs our Teaching School Administrator [email protected] 14
Compu ng at Schools (CAS) If you are not already a member of CAS you may wish to con‐
sider joining. CAS is a grassroots organisa on supported by BCS and is focussed on suppor ng teachers via a ‘community of prac ce‐style’ approach. Membership is free and there are now over 13,000 members. Around 80% of these members are teachers. Other members of CAS include academics, indus‐
try representa ves, exam bodies etc. Via CAS Online you can access over 1000 resources uploaded by members and par cipate in discussions etc. There will doubtless be a number of links to external re‐
sources which you may also find useful. As well as this virtual networking opportunity we also have over 100 regional hubs so there should be one rela vely near to you. This provides an opportunity to meet on a regular basis (perhaps once a term) with other members in your area to share ideas, experiences, resources etc. There are also a large number of events being held all of the me so it may well be that some of these will be of use to you too. You can find out more here: h p://www.compu ngatschool.org.uk/ Also find the latest CAS newsle er here h p://www.compu ngatschool.org.uk/data/uploads/newsle er‐summer‐2014.pdf Teaching compu ng This two‐part course is for primary and secondary school teachers who are preparing to tackle the new compu ng curriculum. With the introduc on of new subject, Compu ng, to schools in September 2014, many schools are considering how to best prepare their staff for this change. This free, online course aims to prepare teachers to deliver the new curriculum effec vely to children in years 5, 6, 7 and 8. With a mixture of subject knowledge and pedagogical advice, this course is aimed at both ICT specialists and Primary teaching non‐specialists. Expert ‘Master Teachers’ from Compu ng at School have designed the course to make sure that teachers have the most up‐to‐date informa on which they can take into their classrooms and teach great Compu ng lessons. This new subject, Compu ng, will encompass many of the skills that used to be taught under the old subject ICT, but this new curriculum is also enhanced with digital literacy and computer science skills. This course is aimed at teachers in primary and secondary schools, especially those teaching in Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. The aim is to support teachers in developing the skills they need to teach the new curriculum. There is subject knowledge guidance as well as advice about planning, teaching and as‐
sessing pupil learning. On this course you will have the chance to work with other teachers and experts in a flexible, self‐paced learning environment. This course is taught in two four‐week blocks, giving you the me to work on your own teaching in be‐
tween blocks. Go to hyperlink for details of this course h ps://www.futurelearn.com/courses/teaching‐compu ng‐
