Find out moreIt’s hard to believe we’re already near the end of the Autumn term – but what a busy one it has been for us all! We have been proud to continue delivering our very popular online training courses for Catch Up® Literacy and Catch Up® Numeracy; there has been a great demand for both! However, this term, it has been an absolute pleasure to also deliver some face-to-face training! As Covid-19 restrictions have eased, we have been pleased to arrange training for schools requesting our one-day format. We have, of course, followed strict protocols to keep our trainees and trainers safe, but welcome the opportunity to have the two training options available for you once again.
Please note that the Catch Up® office will be closed for the festive period from 4.00pm on Friday 17th December 2021, reopening at 8.30am on Tuesday 4th January 2022.
During this time, please send any queries to training@catchup.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible in the New Year.
We wish you all a safe and happy holiday period, however you choose to spend it.
As 2021 draws to a close, it is a time of reflection for us all; of a year that has continued to challenge us at every turn. It has been a busy year for Catch Up®, and one in which I hope you feel that we have supported you in your work with those learners struggling with literacy and numeracy. The easiest way to get in touch remains the training@catchup.org email, as we continue our hybrid working model.
The online training courses have had excellent feedback. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their views, as we do consider all comments, and they do inform our future actions.
The survey we recently conducted was incredibly informative and positive.
Here is some of the amazing feedback about the impact of the Catch Up® interventions:
"After taking part in Catch Up, children are now at [the] appropriate stage of their learning with their peers within class."
As you would expect, we take our ‘eco-credentials’ very seriously, and are always looking for ways we can improve even further.
We are, therefore, pleased to announce another important development in our journey to be ‘greener’ – the issuing of eCertificates for the Catch Up® qualifications.
As mentioned in our last newsletter, to ensure that we meet Data Protection requirements, we ask that all schools who wish to use the Catch Up® Progress Reporting Tool (PRT) re-nominate/nominate a Catch Up® Coordinator every autumn.
This process will begin next week – on the 27th September 2021 – when Headteachers will be sent an email asking them to re-nominate/nominate a Catch Up® Coordinator in their school.
