Train to Teach
Fri 17 Jun 2022Train to Teach with KNSTE.
Did you know that Kidsgrove Primary and Shaw Education Trust work in close partnership with Keele and North Staffordshire Teacher Education (KNSTE)?
KNSTE is a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) provider that has a partnership of over 120 schools who work across Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire, including our own. We are delighted that a number of our current staff have benefitted from KNSTE’s teacher education programmes. We would like to promote their work with you, and ask that you share this with anyone that you know who may be interested in teaching as a career.
KNSTE’s courses are available both as a full time and a two-year flexible option. KNSTE offers a combination of primary routes with subject specialisms including Early Years and an English and Communication (SEND) programme. If you decided to train to teach with KNSTE you can gain a Keele University Postgraduate or Professional Certificate alongside Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
KNSTE also offer an Assessment Only (AO) route which is appropriate for very experienced Teaching Assistants, Higher Level Teaching Assistants or graduate teachers without QTS. Applicants will already have considerable classroom experience including a responsibility for planning, teaching and assessment of whole classes during the last 2-3 years. KNSTE can support applicants in gaining any additional experiences that they may need in order to access this route.
KNSTE hosts regular Open Evening events throughout the year. These can be attended either in person or online. The evenings offer a valuable opportunity to learn more about the course(s) and provide an opportunity to ask any questions that applicants may have when considering joining our wonderful profession. KNSTE’s next Open Evenings will be held on Monday 13th June 2022 and on Thursday 14th July 2022. Please register your interest on the online form at: https://knste-shaw.org.uk/open-evenings-2022/.

Vaccination information for children aged 5 - 11 year old
Wed 09 Mar 2022Children aged 5 to 11 years who are in a clinical risk group or who live with someone who is immunosuppressed can get the COVID-19 vaccine, in line with advice set out by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Eligible children include those with diabetes, immunosuppression, learning disabilities, and other conditions as outlined by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in the Green Book.
Vaccinations help to increase protection against COVID-19, which is particularly important for those with underlying health conditions.
Further information is available in the guide for parents of children aged 5 to 11 yearspublished by UKHSA. We have published some frequently asked questions on the vaccination programme including information on eligibility, accessibility and advice for parents of children at high risk from COVID-19. Following advice from the JCVI, healthy 5 to 11 year old children will also be offered two 10 microgram doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The NHS will prepare to extend this non-urgent offer to all children during April.

DFE VIRTUAL SCHOOL VISIT
Tue 25 Jan 2022CELEBRATE OUR INCLUSIVITY
In July 2021 we applied to participate in a Whole School SEND / DFE project regarding inclusive practice for SEND pupils. This was in line with our whole school strategic aims for 2021 and 2022 and all improvements would be underpinned with high quality training and evidence based research. The success of our project in just 3 months of the 9 month journey led to us presenting our impact to 860 DFE officials regarding outstanding inclusive practice of typicality. We are so proud of our schools achievements. Since our project into Reading and SEND pupils we have joined the DFE Reading working party, SEND policy group and been asked to lead a MAT focused steering group into Reading, Behaviour and curriculum. We cannot wait!
