Professional development tailored to your requirements

Professional development

This is professional development that actually means something.

Mark Cottingham, Head Teacher, Da Vinci Community College

With changes in local support services and finances, the rigours of inspection and drive to raise standards; decisions about professional development become vitally important.

A planned professional development programme can help to:

  • achieve your developmental targets
  • increase creativity and engagement with learning
  • stimulate and motivate your staff
  • support staff to develop as leaders
  • develop specialisms in your context.

We provide tailored accredited development for all of your team, from support staff to senior managers and governors.

  • content is tailored to your education planning priorities
  • outcomes impact on professional practice
  • sessions are delivered at a location and time to suit you and your staff
  • our range of education specialists facilitate activities encompassing good practice locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Our flexible approach means that this can be delivered to school groups, individuals, network groups, trust partnerships, teaching school alliances, colleges and nursery settings.

Who we work with

Our current work is supporting the development of a range of staff in local primary and secondary schools. The modules from our Foundation Degree (FdA): Children's and Young People's Services, and the MA Education are the most popular. There's more information on our case studies.

Why not take a free consultation to see how we can work together?

We'll explore organisational and individual professional development needs for your education setting - including needs analysis and solution design.
