Hi Everyone, just want to begin this newsletter by thanking Ollie Welsby from Brightcore who has delivered some superb free CPD for the ISP this week on The changing landscape of mental health in schools. This timely update is packed full of useful advice and practical takeaways for school leaders - and you can view a full recording of it by clicking the link in the video vault section below. I'm also delighted that Helen Clare will be giving a talk on Menopause in Schools in June and don't miss Andy Carley's online talk this coming Wednesday (1930-2030) on Learning beyond the classroom - a blueprint for success. Both of these sessions can also be booked using the links below. For those of you who attended the ISA conference is Harrogate this week, you will have watched the ISP's very own Alicia Coad presenting on Authentic Marketing. This talk was based on a huge amount of parental feedback that Alicia collected from several hundred independent schools - and I'm delighted that Alicia will be be making this data widely available in the near future... so watch this space! As ever, I hope that you find this newsletter of use and I wish you a good (and sunny!) week. David --- David Winfield Founder, Independent Schools Portal. Upcoming free CPD Learning Beyond the Classroom - a Blueprint for Success. Online. Wednesday 14th May 2025 at 1930. The talk will summarise the key ingredients and elements for success for learning beyond the classroom - from planning, fundraising, site design, installation, resourcing, CPD and progression. With examples and specific ideas from the many schools that are successfully achieving this within the constraints of budgets, teacher attitudes and a highly prescribed curriculum you will come away with lots of ideas on how to do make these changes within your own school setting. Presented by Andy Carley, who is the Founder and Owner of School Outdoor Learning (SOuL).

How do perimenopause and menopause cause particular challenges for those who work in our schools? How can they help themselves and how can we support them through this transition so that they can keep on doing the jobs they love without a cost to their health and we don't lose their talents and experience? Delivered by Helen Clare. Helen helps schools and teachers deal with challenges that arise due to perimenopause and menopause. She does this through talks, workshops, support groups, 1 to 1 and group mentoring, manager and menopause champion training, courses and policy and strategy support. An ex-biology teacher and life-long biology geek, she has also worked in schools as a poet and artist and as part of her work for Creative Partnerships and Arts Council England.
