Good Management for Out-of-school Settings
The purpose of this acclaimed course is to enable organisations to understand government requirements and prepare a comprehensive Good Management Pack for their supplementary school.
We are currently delivering the full course online using Zoom and Google Classroom. Call us to discuss your delivery requirements. Sessions can be delivered weekly or on consecutive days at times that suit your settings.
Next information and sign-up session – 11/3/21
From September we hope to be back delivering the course face-to-face as well and this works well across full days with 2-3 sessions per day. On both face-to-face and online courses we encourage settings to send 2-3 participants as appropriate.
The School Management Pack consists of
· A Welcome Pack for Parents
· Staff and Volunteer Handbook
· Management Committee Guide
· Safeguarding Policies and Procedures for all
Course content
Sessions 1 & 2 – prepare a Welcome Pack for Parents
Includes: registration, GDPR, e-safety, safeguarding statement, health and safety policies
Sessions 3 & 4 – prepare a Staff and Volunteer Handbook

Sessions 5 & 6 – prepare a Management Committee Guide

Session 7 – presenting your complete Management Pack and preparing for quality recognition
The Good Management Pack can become the first step towards gaining the NRCSE Quality Mark.
The guidance given throughout the Good Management course is in line with criteria proposed by the Department for Education for keeping children safe practice in out of school settings. Where commissioned by local authorities we also tailor the course content to your own Section 11 requirements / local safeguarding procedures.
This course can also be purchased to support organisations offering out-of-school provision (core curriculum subjects, mother tongue/heritage language or faith tuition or a combination of these) in gaining the NRCSE Quality Mark. Supplementary schools offering core curriculum support may be eligible for a subsidised place through one of our trust-funded project. Please check with us.
All schools completing the course will be able to apply for quality-assured membership of NRCSE which includes a recognition meeting with educational and governance experts. Additional charges apply to complete this 360 deg process. Parents, funders and partners can be sure that supplementary schools with a Quality Mark award are offering safe and effective provision.
