Autumn Term 2011

Welcome back to another academic year of change.

I would like to confirm that the Local Authority is still here to help you
adapt to the changes and that in the words of Mark Twain "The rumours
of my death have been greatly exaggerated". Or rather the suggestion that there is no longer support available from Hertfordshire for ALL schools is not true.

“The Maths team at County are always very good”- Head of Maths to Ofsted Lead Inspector

We are here to help, support and challenge all schools. We are able to
visit your school irrelevant of County or status. Our support has been
recognised by Ofsted as being of the highest standard. We are a
successful team.

If you need to know the latest information about examinations, teaching and learning, Ofsted or any other educational issue then we are here to help.

Our team has changed

"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may
have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't
play together, the club won't be worth a dime" - Babe Ruth

Over the year we have sadly said goodbye to both Claire Beckett and Sophia Vincent, the good news is they are both now working in Hertfordshire schools and the even better news is they are still very much part of the Hertfordshire team. Both have continued to work on the new Schemes of Work and appear as guest speakers at revision events. Karen Gordon is currently on maternity leave, we wish her all the best with the safe arrival of the new baby and hope she enjoys her time at home with her family. However the great news for us is she will be back next year as organised and enthusiastic as ever.

In the meantime I will be rejoined by Heather Jones. Heather is going to support several schools in Karen’s absence and we will form the secondary team for next term.

Looking Forward

If you have any support needs or quick questions please feel free to
contact the team at:

• Sam Burns

• Heather Jones

• Karen Gordon

Remember we are here for all of you.
