Free KM Charity Team Forum for schools

Governors and school staff are invited to book their places at the annual KM Charity Team Forum being staged on Friday 12 October. The half-day event, which is free to attend, will share best practice in delivering initiatives focused on literacy, road safety, green travel, health and wellbeing; and Pupil Voice.

Schools involved in the KM Walk to School campaign will find out how to become a Green Champion and encourage children to drive the green travel message. The workshop will also advise schools on how to improve road safety awareness and tackle congestion at the school gates.

Newcomers to Buster’s Book Club can join a focus group to learn the details of the highly successful reading reward scheme, which achieved eight and a half million minutes of reading last academic year, while established schools can offer suggestions to improve the scheme even further.

Workshops run by representatives from Leeds Castle and Diggerland will show how school trips can not only be educational but also a great deal of fun. The sessions will explain how a school excursion to the beautiful 900-year-old castle or exciting theme park will fit into the UK National Curriculum.

The forum will also host an array of charity-themed workshops which include how to apply to become KM Charity of the Year 2019, advice on grant applications, and how PTAs can use the KM Charity Team’s challenge events to raise funds for their schools.

Simon Dolby, chief executive of the KM Charity Team, said: “Come along and find out how we can support you in your literacy, walk to school, and green travel initiatives as well as your PTA development. Each year, hundreds of delegates attend and enjoy the relaxed and informative event packed with ideas to get schools inspired.”

Delivered via a series of presentations and workshops the KM Charity Team Forum will take place on Friday 12 October at the Mercure Great Danes Hotel in Maidstone. The event is free to attend but places must be booked in advance to keep track of numbers.
