Welcome back to Of Primary Importance!
In this podcast series we are exploring all things EYFS and primary with different topics and special guests each fortnight.
In this episode, I am joined by Ellise Hayward to talk about ‘Empowering students with physical disabilities.’ Ellise is a motivational speaker, AAC mentor, and an advocate for SEND and Inclusion. She is currently studying Health & Social Care at College. Ellise has cerebral palsy and is passionate about sharing her experiences to raise awareness and empower others with physical disabilities.
“My name is Ellise and I happen to have cerebral palsy. I’ve always been very accepting of my disability, always try to look on the positive side, and always try my best in everything. I’m a strong-minded person and do anything I want to do. My disability isn’t a barrier, I’ll always find a way, I’m forever pushing myself to be the best version of myself. Even though it might take me longer, I get there eventually. I’m a motivational speaker and an AAC mentor. I speak to schools, colleges and universities about my life and my own personal experiences. I’m very passionate about spreading awareness of cerebral palsy and inclusive behaviours. In the last year, I have spoken to University of London and University of Plymouth students who are training to be Speech and Language Therapists and SENDCos. I was also a guest speaker at the Somerset SENCo conference in 2019. I have given whole school staff online CPD sessions.”
Here are some of the questions I asked Ellise:
- You have had quite an amazing communication journey, could you tell us about that?
- What were your experiences like at school?
- How did your family feel about your education?
- You are at college now, how does your education experience differ now?
- What have been some of your challenges growing up and how have you overcome them?
- You are very passionate about speaking about your cerebral palsy
- could you tell us why you are so passionate about this and who you work with on this?
- Ellise, you are so inspirational and have achieved so much- what have been some of your highlights?
- You have always been determined to not let anything stop you, so I'm wondering what are your ambitions and what is next for you?
- What are your top tips for someone working with a student with a physical disability?
- What would you want someone with a physical disability to hear right now?

Welcome to another episode of Product Insights with NetSupport!
In this episode of Product Insights with NetSupport, we grab the opportunity to catch up with NetSupport’s Technical Support Manager, Andy Earp, to talk about our popular product NetSupport Manager, and how it can be used to support unattended devices.
A popular use for NetSupport Manager is to use it to support unattended devices, particularly in the corporate space. From ATMs to cash registers to factory floor robots to jukeboxes in restaurants, NetSupport Manager can save time and money, as well as promote efficiency by using it to maintain and support unattended devices. Yes, of course, it can be used to support devices being used by colleagues across your business too, but there are many pieces of technology, such as your servers, which can also benefit from being managed remotely using our fantastic remote management solution.
In this conversation, we got to ask Andy:
1. What sorts of unattended devices do our clients use NetSupport Manager to manage?
2. What sort of help can NetSupport Manager provide to managers who need to maintain unattended devices?
3. What feedback have our customers shared about how useful NetSupport Manager is when maintaining unattended devices?
Tune in to learn more about how NetSupport Manager can help you and your team reap the benefits of its use.

Welcome back to Of Primary Importance!
In this podcast series we are exploring all things EYFS and primary with different topics and special guests each fortnight.
In this episode, we are joined by Liz Rumsey. Liz qualified as a teacher 11 years ago. Before that, she was a training manager for a large banking organisation. She moved from mainstream primary schools 6 years ago to join Tute and develop alternative provision for primary students. Her role has since developed and, in conjunction with developing and teaching lessons for students, she also has the responsibility of SEND lead teacher across all 5 Key Stages. This role enables me to work collaboratively with students, parents, schools and Local Education Authorities (LEAs) to ensure that all individual requirements are met.
In this episode we discussed ‘The role of tutoring in filling gaps in education.’
Here are some of the questions I asked Liz:
- Why did you choose to work at Tute and how did you make that move?
- What can you tell us about the pupils that use Tute?
- Is it more common for pupils with SEND or SEMH to access the provision? If so why do you think that is?
- You mentioned previously that Tute can be used as an alternative provision for any primary student, can you explain how that works?
- How does the Tute programme work and what is the pupil experience like?
- What are the benefits of pupils using Tute and are there any additional benefits specific to pupils with SEND or SEMH?
- Tute’s lessons are online, how do you feel this impacts on pupils learning and engagement?
- What are the challenges with lessons being online?
- What are your favourite lessons to teach?

You are really passionate about chess, where does this passion come from and how did it start for you?

Chess is steeped in history, could you tell us a bit more about that?
There are lots of ways chess can be linked to the curriculum, can you give some examples of how you have linked it in?
- You mentioned before you had lots of interesting discussions happen while exploring chess with pupils, can you give us some examples of those kind of conversations?
- What impact has the COVID pandemic had on chess?
- How can schools go about introducing chess?
- What exciting things have been happening in the chess world?
- How can schools support staff with teaching chess? Would you recommend involving parents and if so, how would you include them?

In this episode, we are joined by Behaviour and Education Expert Adele Bates. Adele empowers school leaders and teachers to support pupils with behavioural needs and SEMH to thrive within their education. She’s an International Keynote Speaker, a featured Expert on ‘Teenagers and Behaviour’ for BBC Radio 4, the Author of ‘Miss, I don't Give A Sh*t- Engaging with Challenging Behaviour in Schools,’ and is a fully funded International Researcher in Finland, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica on Behaviour & Inclusion, alongside 20 years of teaching experience!
Adele: “I’ve had juice poured on my head, been whacked by a skateboard – and have taught a year 7 pupil who has experienced severe trauma, how to read their first ever word...”
In this episode we discuss engaging with challenging behaviour and why bridging the gap between alternative provision and mainstream schools is so important.
Here are some of the questions I asked Adele:
- You wrote the book, 'Miss I don't give a sh*t: Engaging with challenging behaviour in schools' can you give us an overview of the book and why you decided to write it?
- All of this comes from the fact that you love working with the most vulnerable pupils. Where does this passion come from?
- One size doesn’t fit all and there is no ‘one way’ to do behaviour, but you do have some tried and tested approaches for managing behaviour, tell me about how you have developed those?
- When you have been engaging with schools in managing challenging behaviour, what have been some of the common misconceptions you have experienced about behaviour. You mentioned in an interview published on your website that during your teaching career a headteacher told you that you were doing ‘too much pastoral’ which made you understandably angry why do you think that pastoral care can so often be sidelined and what changes do you want to see in schools to improve this?
- You said in an ideal world it wouldn’t just be down to experts you wouldn’t need to be an expert in behaviour because it would be woven into the school’s ethos and pedagogy, how can schools be supported to become more confident in managing challenging behaviour?
