Support for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Children The Sheffield Service for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Children offers support from first diagnosis through to the end of school or FE college. Who are we? A team of teachers and teaching assistants with additional specialist qualifications in working with children with hearing impairment. Why might my child need extra support? Children with hearing loss need to learn to use their hearing aids and develop their listening skills. Hearing loss can affect a child’s language development and communication. Nurseries and schools may need to adapt their teaching approaches . What will we do? Support the children to use their hearing aids effectively Monitor their progress in communication and language Provide direct teaching for some children Support the children with their social and emotional wellbeing Provide training and advice to your child’s early years setting or school. Provide a radio aid to those children who will benefit Work collaboratively with other professionals, e.g. Hearing Services at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, Speech and Language Therapy What support will my child get? Support is provided by qualified Teachers of the Deaf, who will visit your child at home, at nursery or at school. The support level is matched to your child’s needs, using the National Sensory Impaired Partnership (NATSIP) support eligibility framework: 1. One-off visit and advice given to school or nursery 2. An annual visit to make sure your child is progressing well, and to give advice and training. 3. Regular visits - once or twice a term – to monitor progress 4. Regular teaching support 5. Integrated Resource Provision (see below) (For further details see the Sheffield Support Grid) You will also receive an annual written report from the Teacher of the Deaf. Integrated Resource Provision Most children with hearing impairment will attend their local school, with visiting support from the Service. Some children, requiring a high level of support, will attend a mainstream school with Integrated Resource Provision. This provides: • Specialist staff based in the school • Somewhere quiet for the children to spend some time working • Language and literacy sessions one-to-one or small group • Support in-class for lessons, as needed • The opportunity to mix with other Deaf/hearing impaired children Schools with Integrated Resource Provision: • Angram Bank Primary School • Greystones Primary School • Lower Meadow Primary School • Ecclesfield School • High Storrs School • Silverdale School Children need to have an Education, Health and Care Plan to access a place in an Integrated Resource. Referrals to the Service Most children are referred to the Service by Hearing Services, Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Some are referred by nurseries, schools or parent/carers.

High Storrs School Is Excited to Be Organising Our First Ever Fully-Inclusive Alumni Reunion Event, Which Will Be Open to All Former Students of the School
A Newsletter for High Storrs Alumni - Edition 3 - Spring 2018 High Storrs Homecoming High Storrs School is excited to be organising our first ever fully-inclusive Alumni reunion event, which will be open to all former students of the school. If successful, we are hoping this will become an annual event, and an important fundraiser for the school. Saturday 30th June 2-5pm will be the day we’re looking forward to 300 Alumni members coming ‘back to school’ to enjoy an afternoon of entertainment, a look around the school and classrooms, afternoon tea, drinks at the professional bar, catch ups with old friends and teachers and much more. I’m proud to announce the nationally-acclaimed High Storrs Dance Company will be performing at the event. They have recently been asked to perform at the nation youth dance platform UDance for the second year running, and will put on a show not to be missed! We’ve got lots of plans for the day, including a look at the archive, students’ work on show, music and much more. One of the highlights for many will be the chance to see the school in its fully refurbished glory following our building project back in 2011. Tickets are selling fast, and I’m pleased to say we’re getting a good mix of people from across the years. We only have space for 300 people, so if you haven’t got yours yet, don’t hesitate—book them now! And why not get the old gang together and book for a group.

Cross-School Professional Learning Prospectus 2017-2018
Cross-School Professional Learning Prospectus 2017-2018 ‘Students become strong learners when they are in the classes of teachers who are themselves strong learners’ Andy Hargreaves Training partners within the Sheffield Professional Learning Project for 2016-2018 Professional Learning Prospectus 2017-2018 Foreword Professional Learning, commonly known as CPD, is one of the most powerful whole-school, departmental and individual teaching improvement tools that we have at our disposal and is fundamental to the development and evolution of any school. The importance of professional learning is so pivotal that OFSTED recognises the need to assess the quality of the school’s capacity for professional growth, during inspections. Collaboration is at the very heart of effective professional learning. Over the past 22 months, a group of senior leaders from 5 secondary schools (All Saints Catholic School, Ecclesfield School, Fir Vale School, Silverdale School and Westfield School) have come together to answer one question: Can we provide a more diverse range of professional learning opportunities and enhance the opportunity for networking and collaboration, through the creation of a cross-school professional learning package? This Professional Learning Prospectus, is the second annual incarnation of our cross-school partnership, after what has been a successful pilot year in 2016-2017, with over 400 colleagues from these 5 schools involved. This professional learning prospectus intends to provide you with a wide range of opportunities that can hopefully provide you with a pathway of individual development that is closely personalised to what you need at your specific stage in your career, teaching experience and pedagogical interests.
