Issue details

The National Children’s Bureau is to be commissioned to strategically lead and coordinate the Making it REAL home learning project funded through the Opportunity Area.
Achieving the ambition of the Making it REAL project will require local partnership and support opportunities to enable sharing of practice, peer support.
To sustain the focus on Making it REAL and build local capacity Oldham has worked in partnership with Oasis Academy Limeside to develop an experienced practitioner to be a Making it REAL trainer. This enables the practitioner to deliver Making it REAL training and allows the practitioner to take on an expanded role in the delivery of local projects.
This methodology of system leadership and using capacity within the local system is reflected in Oldham’s Education Strategy and is supported by the Department for Education, Regional Schools Commissioner, and National College for Teaching and School Leadership. It is also consistent with the Local Authority Statutory Obligations.
