Ready for radY? Get started with Recorded RADY

Using our years of experience, we’ve created Recorded RADYTM as a highly cost, time, and resource-effective way for a school to begin their RADY journey.  This recorded training programme will allow any school to independently launch and establish RADY over 12 months.                Cost £450 per school for 12 months access (discounts available for groups of schools)  

Support tutorials:  Groups of up to 10 schools can opt into a series of 6 bespoke tutorial sessions run by a RADY coach (subject to availability).  The 6 virtual tutorials provide opportunity to ask questions and share RADY experiences as well as gain expert advice from a RADY coach who will also be available between tutorials to answer questions and help out.       Cost for up to 10 schools for 6 tutorials:  £2000 ex VAT (e.g. £200 per school for 6 tutorials for a group of 10; £333 per school for 6 tutorials for a group of 6)

already running rady? Coaching Options

RADY is a long-term ‘hearts and minds’ programme that eventually becomes habit for every member of staff in school.  We believe this is where the magic happens, things ‘feel different’ for learners and their families, children can make accelerated progress and catch up with their non-disadvantaged peers.

If a school has just completed Recorded RADYTM or perhaps been applying RADY principles in their school for a while now, there are several ways that we can support a school to making sure they continue to have maximum impact on outcomes of the most disadvantaged learners outlined below.

Virtual RADY Coaching.  Bespoke remote coaching and support from your dedicated RADY coach for a set number of hours across three terms.  This would be based round the current school priorities and work on the golden thread of RADY, agreed with the school.  

  • RADY 12 – For larger schools and/or schools who have (for example) had a change of leadership. Up to twelve hours of virtual coaching and RADY support over 3 terms.  Cost for RADY 12:  £1295 ex VAT
  • RADY 8 – For smaller schools and/or larger schools who are perhaps in their 3rd year of RADY. Up to eight hours of virtual coaching and RADY support over 3 terms.  Cost for RADY 8: £875 ex VAT
  • RADY 4 – For schools who are confident that RADY is well established but want to maintain a level of support and challenge from a RADY coach. Up to four hours of virtual coaching over 3 terms.  Cost for RADY 4: £450 ex VAT.

In-school RADY Review.  For schools who would like a RADY coach on-site to work alongside senior leaders in establishing the strengths and next steps for RADY work in their school.  This review process would include pre-visit planning, a day in school and a practical next steps report.   Cost:  £950 excluding travel, accommodation & VAT.

Combined in-school review & virtual RADY coaching.  From our experience of working with schools, they are often keen to have some virtual coaching as well as an in-school review at some point during the year.  If a school books both together, then we can offer a discount on the cost of the in-school RADY review of 10% (Cost £855 excluding travel, accommodation & VAT).

virtual coaching frequently asked questions

  • I’m keen to get some RADY coaching, but didn’t sign up for a September start, do I need to wait until next academic year?   The coaching hours can start at any point during the academic year that works for you.
  • I’ve signed up for RADY 12, do I have to use 4 hours per term? There are no ‘rules’ about how the hours in your coaching package are used.  It depends on your requirements, availability of staff and of your RADY coach.  You may feel that you need 6 hours in your first term, 4 in the second and only 2 in the third.  You could use all hours across 2 terms.  The same applies to any of the other virtual RADY coaching packages. 
  • How do I book sessions with my RADY coach?   We use ‘Calendly’ which allows you to see our availability live and book sessions of 30, 60 or 90 mins without even having to email us.  Calendly then automatically generates a link (Teams or Zoom), emails it to you (and your RADY coach) and even sends a reminder! 

 

  • I want other staff to have virtual sessions, is that possible?           Yes absolutely.  If you have got hours available and depending on availability of your staff and RADY coach, this can be arranged using Calendly. 
  • I signed up for RADY 4 and have run out of hours, can I top up?    Yes of course.  Providing your RADY coach has availability then you can add more hours to your support package at the costs outlined above. 
  • I was off sick/maternity/circumstances changed and we didn’t use all our hours in 3 terms, have we lost those hours?   We will always be as flexible as possible and will try to ‘carry over’ hours into a 4th term, depending on availability.

Support rady with thinking differently for disadvantaged learners

To support all RADY schools, no matter what point they are in the RADY journey, we can offer our recorded online resource for all staff to access.  This Professional Learning Programme (PLP) is divided into 6 modules, each containing ‘bite-sized’ training videos and additional materials, and all focussed on supporting the most disadvantaged youngsters.
