This webinar will explore what you actually need to know about metacognition. Starting by diving into the rationale for metacognition in the classroom, this webinar will then turn its attention to the theory of metacognition. What is it? What is it not? And what on earth does it look like in the classroom? Through attending this webinar, you will develop your foundational understanding of metacognition, and begin to consider what makes for high-quality metacognitive teaching.
Nathan Burns, the UK’s leading metacognition expert, supports schools and organisations nationwide. A former Head of Maths and author of four books, he now delivers high-quality metacognition CPD and maths training, sharing insights online as Mr Metacognition.
QET Primary English Network
Set up in March 2025 and led by Tammy Court (English Lead at St Bartholomew’s), this is the first subject network to be established for leaders of literacy and English. The aim is to provide peer support to colleagues performing similar roles across QET schools. The sharing of evidence-informed approaches and high-quality teaching resources will be central to the group’s work, whilst also aiming to improve alignment across primary schools.
QET SENCo Network
Led by Malcolm Reeve (National Leader of SEND), members of our SENCo Network meet termly to review the latest policy and guidance updates, to review school-based practice and share expertise with each other.
QET DSL Network
Led by Gary Sanders (QET’s Strategic Safeguarding Consultant) this group meets termly to review safeguarding processes, share thinking around case studies and provide informal peer to peer support to other DSL colleagues in the network. This is supplemented by supervision which is also provided to DSLs.
QET PA Network
Led by Kelly Broome (Executive Assistant, QET Central Team), this is a supportive and collaborative group that brings together the personal assistants and office staff from each of our schools. Meeting monthly, this network provides a valuable space for sharing best practices, discussing challenges, and offering peer support. It ensures that administrative staff across the Trust remain well-connected, informed, and equipped to handle the dynamic needs of their roles. By fostering communication and collaboration, the network strengthens the efficiency of school offices and enhances the overall support provided to leadership teams, ultimately contributing to the smooth running of our schools.
