Cambridge Nationals launch event - 10 March 2021
We were delighted to be joined by over 700 people at our online launch for our Redeveloped Cambridge Nationals.
During the one-hour event, hosted by our Head of Marketing Insights, Toby McKechnie, we heard from Jilly Duffy, Peter Canning, Ros Kaijaks and Chris Powley about the background to our redevelopment programme and the support we'll be giving teachers over the coming months. We were joined by Lynne Rogers, Reader in Education at UCL Institute of Education and Tom Campbell, Chief Education Officer and Jamie Kilner, Senior Education Advisor, Director of Vocational from Greenwood Academies Trust who spoke about the importance of vocational skills, how they impact social mobility and future careers plus how vocational qualifications enhance the curriculum.
There were lots of questions which we didn't have time to answer during the event but in the next few days, we'll have a reply on our FAQ page.
What next?
We are running a series of subject virtual roadshows for you to find out more and ask questions to our Subject Advisors.
These sessions will include;
- An overview of the redeveloped qualifications
- Key changes to topic areas in the specific subject specifications
- The approach to terminal assessment
- An outline of the support and resources we'll be providing to help you plan and teach.
These are designed for teaching staff who are either new to these qualifications or those who are delivering our current Cambridge Nationals.
