Staffing the Co-Curriculum

with Neil Rollings

Webinar Prep and Primary School Senior and Secondary School Seminar Programme

A perfect storm of factors is making many staff less generous with their discretionary effort, and historic expectations of teachers are being challenged.

This webinar is aimed at Co-Curricular leaders, and others responsible for staffing the co-curricular programme. It will address the issues that schools face, consider industry trends and case studies and present a framework for strategic evaluation future provision.

  • Understanding the perfect storm
  • The shifting dynamic of supply and demand
  • Contractual expectation v discretionary effort
  • Legitimate curriculum extension expectations
  • The particular problems of sports provision
  • Avoiding a culture of adding
  • Evaluating future requirements
  • Reward and recognition models
  • The future of co-curricular staffing
