New Arrivals Excellence Programme: CPD Modules

These Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules have been developed to enable local authorities (LAs) and school leaders to focus training with school staff on meeting the needs of new arrivals in areas or schools where there is little experience of working with such pupils.

Schools' contexts and priorities are very different, so these modules have been designed to be delivered as a complete series or individually, according to the time available and the level of priority given by the school.

The modules can be delivered to the whole staff or to selected groups according to need.

Trainers' notes, including references from other useful publications, are provided to support presenters in ensuring that aims and key messages are covered. The modules have been designed to be delivered by the local authority EMA team, Secondary National Strategy consultants or by senior leaders in schools.

The activities provided in the modules are intended as examples to choose from and adapt as necessary to fit local priorities.
