November 25, 2022 What outstanding early years provision looks like with Sian McDermott at Rowland Hill
In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper, HEP Insight and Intelligence Lead, talks to Sian McDermott, Headteacher at Rowland Hill Nursery School & Children Centre, about her school and the outstanding grade it received from its latest Ofsted inspection. Topics covered include how Rowland Hill achieved a grade of 'outstanding' from Ofsted, how the school fostered an environment of joy, how the staff delivers such high-quality and inclusive SEND provision, and what sets Rowland Hill's curriculum apart, among others.
The conversation was both enlightening and fun, and hopefully offers other nursery school teachers and leaders a glimpse at what 'outstanding' early years provision looks like. Of course, there is no magic formula for perfect provision, but Rowland Hill definitely ticked all of Ofsted's boxes and more.

October 26, 2022 Taking action on racial inequality in education with Marva Rollins
It's half-term, so in place of the weekly brief, HEP has released another episode of HEP Talks! In this episode, Luke Kemper, HEP Insight and Intelligence Lead, talks to Marva Rollins, a HEP School Improvement Partner and member of the Racial Equity Steering Group, about racial inequality in education. Topics covered include National Foundation for Education Research report titled “Racial equality in the teacher workforce", the earlier report of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, and what Marva herself, along with HEP, do to combat racism and inequalities in education.
There is a newly released blog post on HEP's website called Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Education and Beyond that gives background information and complements this podcast. In it, we analysed racial disparities in Haringey and compared them to the national figures. Please feel free to give it a read using the link above. We'll be back next week on Monday with The Brief, and more HEP Talks episodes coming soon!

In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper, HEP Insight and Intelligence Lead, talks to Patricia Lamour, MBE, CEO of Aspire Education Group, and Linda Sarr, Headteacher of Risley Avenue Primary School, about Take It Serious, a new disaster management education project. Topics covered include what disaster management education means and how schools can engage with the Take It Serious curriculum, among others.
On 20 October, a national multiplier conference will be held at HEP to explain more about the project and trial parts of their curriculum (there is a game involved!). Sign up for the event and read more about the project through the links below:
"This project, TAKE IT SERIOUS, recognises the importance of imparting necessary knowledge to educationalists and pupils in order to develop disaster management skills, and to increase awareness about disaster-related issues. The project aims to create outputs and activities which are centred on effective, holistic and inclusive approaches and is aimed at pupils between the ages of ten and thirteen years old. Innovative technological methodologies and the use of gamified learning, based on authentic scenarios, is widely recognised as the most effective way to achieve this. The envisaged long-term effect of the project is to strengthen the profiles of teachers, school authorities and school support staff, and to mainstream holistic and effective disaster management in Europe."
