Canterbury Coastal ASTs

We are fortunate to have a number of school based ASTs who are working as leaders in their own schools, supporting individual schools and projects in the Partnership and supporting schools in other parts of Kent, as well as disseminating information to local teachers through various media. The ASTs are currently taking a lead/ working on projects as diverse as humanities G&T field trips, an Early Years gardening project with the Partnership specialist EY team members, filming Write Dance training and Leading a National Conference for ASTs on PE. Last term one AST spoke at a National Conference about a creativity and writing project that she is engaged in at her school.

We are very proud of the positive contributions of each AST!

• Enable ASTs to gain a clear overview of the strengths and areas for development in terms of pupil progress across the Partnership schools, so that their support can be targeted effectively.
