GROW Training Centre, 36 Causton Street, London SW1P 4AU
With the increasing spotlight on middle leaders (subject leaders) in the new inspection framework, there is an unambiguous focus on the ability of subject leaders to improve teaching and learning and ultimately, drive forwards whole school improvement. The national curriculum programme of study for art and design does not provide very much detail in terms of content compared to those for many other subjects. As a result, schools need to plan carefully to ensure it provides a rich, broad and balanced art and design curriculum
The new ‘Quality of Education’ judgement is at the heart of this framework and schools will need to consider the following:
Created for Art and Design subject leaders across the primary phase of education, this half day course introduces them to a range of effective strategies, approaches and knowledge that will help them grow in confidence and excel in this important role.

Data protection is a living, breathing legislation which requires continuous attention and administration.
The Record of Processing Activity (RoPA) is data protection’s oft forgotten mandatory document. Like a pot plant bought on a whim and then left in the corner of the room, unless periodically watered and given the right amount of attention, then the RoPA often withers into disrepair. This course will break down how you can create and maintain an effective RoPA which can help you with other data protection tasks.
