North Yorkshire Coast Opportunity Area
Improving opportunity through education
We teamed up with the National Careers Service to produce Labour Market Information (LMI) materials for young people across schools in Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.
The resources linked to this leaflet are available to all school to help provide young people with information, advice and guidance to progress into learning, training and employment.
In January 2019 Northstead will be hosting 2 teachers from Shanghai as part of the UK China teacher exchange organised by the NCETM and DfE. This is an opportunity for schools to observe highly effective Teaching for Mastery in a school context without travelling great distances.
Some dates are specific to schools in the OA and some are open to schools across the region.

We are funding two CPD opportunities based on the EEF’s Guidance report – A School’s Guide to Implementation.
This professional development programme gives time and support to practically apply the evidence to create sustained change. The training is 3 full days, supported by individual in-school coaching sessions. The outcome will be an evidence-informed School Development Plan for the 2019/20 Academic Year. More here.
For those wanting a bite-sized introduction, twilight sessions are being held for teachers and school leaders interesting in developing a better understanding of how to make practical changes to their classroom practice. Sessions are in Whitby (23 Jan 2019 4pm – 5.30pm) and Scarborough (26th June 4pm – 5.30pm) More here.

The Education Endowment Foundation’s Improving Mathematics in Key Stages 2 and report recommends that schools should ‘use structured interventions to provide additional support’ when pupils need to catch up.
Free mathematics intervention training is available for all schools in the Opportunity Area. There are training opportunities for a variety of evidence based interventions from KS1 – KS3, including both keep-up and catch-up interventions. These interventions meet all of the EEF’s report’s criteria for an effective intervention.
Signing-up to the training will include free resource packs to use in school and supply funding will be paid for teachers attending the training on completion of the course. Further details and links to the sign-up pages are included here.
There is a deadline of 11th December for signing-up for some of these courses as we need sufficient time to order resource packs from Edge Hill University.
We are looking for an Events Co-ordinator to create a Maths Month in the area.
The project will deliver a month of events for teachers, students and parents centred around maths and numeracy. It will look to change the perceptions about maths as a subject and encourage all children, teachers and parents to share in a ‘love of maths’.
Is this you or your organisation?
