Policy in schools - providing the context (understanding deprivation and attainment) training for outreach staff from across the university who can benefit from free professional development to improve their practice.
Cambridge Admissions Office have organised a series of briefing sessions in the coming weeks aimed at Schools Liaison Officers, Faculty/Department Outreach Staff, and any academics and staff members who will communicate with potential students.
This will be an informative session detailing examples of good practice in monitoring and evaluation, specifically related to outreach projects including those funded by the Widening Participation Project Fund. The session will cover general good practice in monitoring and evaluation, as well as featuring presentations from previous outreach projects detailing specific examples of monitoring and evaluation in practice.
Behaviour management training for outreach staff delivered by the Cambridge Admissions Office.
This training focuses on managing the needs and behaviour of both the group you and individual pupils. It will provide you with techniques and strategies you can use when delivering sessions to students. In this session, you’ll explore how your own behaviour influences your students’, and learn how to control your emotional responses when you’re interacting in the classroom. You’ll discover the latest techniques in classroom management and develop your capability to achieve consistency.
The training will take place in A329 - Counselling Service (Student Services Centre).
The goal of our next Community of Practice is to map the support networks which are already established across the University. We aim to compile a document specifying who is doing what, where, to allow us to work in a more connected way across the University. In anticipation of this, you might want to think about which pieces of work you would like to bring up at the meeting, if you know anyone who is doing anything similar already who you would like to collaborate with, and what support you could use. We will also have a great speaker coming along to this session, with details to be provided soon!
Looking forwards to seeing you all again in April!
NOTE: if you'd like to join the session remotely, please let us know in the Special Requirements section when booking. This will help us plan the session and manage physical numbers in the room.
This hybrid session, delivered online and in person, will explore how to present and disseminate evaluation findings in appropriate ways for intended users, and to support wider strategic use.
A brief history of the last 20 years and the huge change in structures, breakdown of LAs, creation of Trusts and what that means in terms of accountability, stability, and school leadership. The differences between Grammars, Academies, All through trusts, Chains/trusts that transcend region etc., LA schools, faith schools (VA and VC), Free schools, and FE colleges. We will explore how best to work with these schools- do they have partnerships with other institutions (Universities, businesses, charities)? The benefits of working across a trust rather than just with one school How to overcome challenges faced by schools to ensure meaningful, long-term relationships?
Led by CAO's acting Deputy Head, Paul Potter. Paul is a former Vice Principal of a large state comprehensive (11-18) school and Head of Sixth Form.
This online session will address how to scope the requirements and boundaries of your evaluation in terms of purposes, questions and scaling. It will particularly explore how evaluation could be used constructively and strategically, and five potential areas that you could explore in your evaluation. This is the second step in the 6-Step Evaluation Process. The session will comprise of practical guidance, opportunities for discussion, and introduce some practical resources you can use in your own evaluation planning.

Cambridge Transition Year – Admissions and Outreach Briefing 2020
What is the Transition Year? This new programme is mentioned in the Cambridge APP. You might have been involved in University-wide consultations and discussions already, but you also might know nothing at all at this point.
This briefing will bring you up to date with the development of the programme. It is a high-profile initiative for the University and while the programme isn’t due to launch until 2021 and the first students aren’t anticipated to begin their studies until 2022, you may be asked for more information. This session will let you know how you can best respond to any enquiries you might get from prospective applicants or advisors in this coming year.
Cambridge Admissions Office has organised a series of briefing sessions in the coming weeks aimed at Schools Liaison Officers, Faculty/Department Outreach Staff, and any academics and staff members who will communicate with potential students.

This briefing will be suitable for Faculty, Department or College staff who may wish to set up their own ambassador scheme, or who wish to improve ad-hoc events which require student volunteers.
WP Groups and Criteria - What do all the acronyms mean?
Don’t know your POLAR from your TUNDRA? Is FSM the same as PP? Are all students with disabilities considered SEN?
This session aims to demystify the wonderful world of widening participation terms and provide an overview of different groups which may be considered ‘WP’. Using the WP Selection Criteria paper (enrolment key: WP@CAM) as a basis, we will define each term/group and discuss the research behind whether they are underrepresented in higher education or face educational disadvantage, as well as any considerations or shortcomings in some of the criteria. At the end, we will talk through how the priority criteria was constructed.
This introductory session would be suitable for anyone with an interest in widening participation, including both practitioners, managers and senior leads, and will be of particular use for newer staff in this area.
Note: this session has a follow up session which will focus on the more practical side of implementing the WP Selection Criteria.
This training will be held via Zoom, the details of which will be circulated before the session.
Cambridge Admissions Office has organised a series of briefing sessions in the coming weeks aimed at Schools Liaison Officers, Faculty/Department Outreach Staff, and any academics and staff members who will communicate with potential students.
Aimed at all outreach practitioners at the University of Cambridge, this briefing will provide an overview of the recently revised WP Participant Targeting/Selection criteria for use on outreach initiatives. The authors of the paper will explain the rationale behind the paper's revised weighting of WP measures and some of the research underpinning the paper. There will also be some discussion on why targeting/selection is important as opposed to using first come/first serve or relying exclusively on teacher nominations.
This session is accompanied by a skills-based session in April aimed at those with less experience implementing targeting/selection criteria.
Cambridge Admissions Office has organised a series of briefing sessions in the coming weeks aimed at Schools Liaison Officers, Faculty/Department Outreach Staff, and any academics and staff members who will communicate with potential students.
Aimed at outreach practitioners with less experience using targeting/selection on their outreach programmes, this skills-based session will provide examples of good practice implementing targeting/selection drawn from experience running CAO programmes. The session will also explore ways to use other data sources and HEAT to make the process easier.
This session follows on from a briefing delivered in March explaining the new targeting/selection criteria adopted by the Collegiate University.
“Help, my WP programme is so popular I have 10,000 students for only 10 spaces, what do I do?” We’ve all been there, but whether you have an incredibly oversubscribed programme or just want to make sure your programme is working with the right people, this training is for you.
In this session we will go through the University’s agreed upon WP Selection Criteria and discuss how practitioners can implement this in their own activities. We will start by looking briefly at targeting and the tools available to help outreach practitioners target their programme to the right people. We will talk about selection: what types of programmes this type of selection criteria is most suitable for, run through some practical considerations in applying the criteria and suggest some methods for easily sorting your data to help with selections.
This session assumes you have either read the WP Selection Criteria paper (enrolment key: WP@CAM) for background, or have attended the previous WP Groups and Criteria training session.
This training will be held via Zoom, the details of which will be circulated before the session.
This online session will explore how to clarify and use outcomes in a way that supports programme/intervention design, and helps support comprehensive impact evaluation. The session will comprise of practical guidance, interactive activities, and examples of practice.
