Welcome back, we hope you and your staff have had a restful summer break.
We’re looking forward to the return of some face-to-face meetings in 2021/22 as well as welcoming even more teachers across the borough to participate in a range of high quality training and events.
Don't forget you can find all of the meetings, training dates and resources on the HEP website
A date for your diary
HEP would like to invite all members to join the HEP AGM to be held at The Lensbury Conference Centre 8.30am 30th September. The board will report on our activities over the past year, review the company finances as well as introducing new HEP directors.
The AGM will then be followed by partnership meetings for Secondary Headteachers and area meetings for Primary Headteachers.
Would your school be willing to help? Supporting a ‘research week’ in schools?
A new kind of children and young people’s plan is coming for 2022-2027
To inform our new strategy, LBH wish to undertake large-scale engagement with children and young people – aiming for around 6,000 responses from 5-25 year olds. We will also speak with parents/carers.
New One Hounslow CYP Plan
Focus on what CYP need to have in place for holistic good quality of life – could include elements such as Housing, Leisure, Urban Design, Employment, Community Safety etc. as well as children’s services areas.
Focuses on what needs to change to become that borough – will include action by children’s services but also by wider partners in and outside of the Council.
System-wide approach – everyone pulling together to tackle ROOT CAUSES of issues in the longer term, reducing duplication and gaps and improving joint working
It’s time to undertake large-scale research with children and young people and their families – but we need you help to hear directly from them.
Could we work together on a borough-wide ‘research week in schools’ around the beginning of October?
Would secondary schools be willing for any Y10-13 students in their school who have signed up to the peer researcher programme to interview other students in the school during this week?
Would primary schools be willing for 18-25 year old peer researchers to visit their school for one or more days during this week, speaking with classes to undertake research, under the supervision of the class teacher?
LBH is working to recruit an organisation to lead the peer research – specialists in this area of work who will be commissioned to organise the activities, liaise with schools, provide any materials needed for research, and be available to troubleshoot should there be any issues – aim would be that there would be minimum impact on schools.

Primary Middle Leaders Development Programme 2021/22
HEP is pleased to share an opportunity to join a Middle Leaders Development Programme next year with Andy Phillips, whose Deep Dive sessions have been very well-received during the 2020/21 Subject Leader Programme.

This will need to involve one or two middle leaders plus a senior colleague who will be the leadership coach who will attend some of the sessions.
The cost of this programme is £495 per middle leader delegate. Please note that there is no fee for the leadership coach.
HEP will invoice schools once booking has been completed. Places will be limited to 20 middle leaders. Full details of the programme expectations and schedule can be found here Course information
