Offer your services as a curricular provider, not just an extracurricular provider
Junior schools tend not to employ specific teachers for PE or enrichment. The class teachers tend to take on that role, so it’s worth making it clear that you’re able to take on some of these lessons. In turn, this will give the already stretched teachers extra time to catch up on their work. Again, if your offering can be linked to several departments then the budget for this can be shared.
Be an option for their enrichment programme – offer workshops
Although enrichment programmes aren’t statutory, they nigeria rcs data are encouraged by the department of education and Ofsted. In fact, Ofsted’s inspection framework emphasises the importance of personal development and extending the curriculum beyond academic achievement. So, if you can come to the table with a pre-existing offering for enrichment, then it’s another potential problem solved.
Perhaps you could offer something for teachers during inset days. Or, you could contribute to CPD (Continued Professional Development) by creating something cross-curricular that could upskill teachers. Initially to get interest in this you could offer to give a taster at a staff meeting, so you also get buy-in from the staff themselves.
Make the most of seasonal events or awareness days
Make sure you have something to offer on these special days so that you have something pertinent to present that will be of interest to schools and nurseries. Also if you’re communicating about something that is rapidly approaching, they will be more compelled to get back to you.
Parent engagement
In order to get into schools and nurseries, you’ve got to S.T.O.P
I know it seems like the complete opposite of what you should do when trying to build relationships with new clients but S.T.O.P. is an acronym for the system that Cerys Keneally created to help you do exactly that.
