Professional development
Investing in our staff is one of the most powerful ways we can improve outcomes for our students. We are proud to foster a culture of continuous professional growth, where every member of staff - regardless of role or career stage - is supported, challenged, and empowered to thrive.
Our commitment to professional development goes beyond statutory requirements. We offer a rich and varied programme of training, coaching, and collaboration that is tailored to individual needs and aligned with whole-school priorities. From early career teachers to experienced leaders, all staff benefit from structured opportunities to reflect, innovate, and refine their practice.
We provide regular access to high-quality CPD through in-house workshops, external courses, and partnerships with leading educational organisations. Importantly, we also offer financial support for external training and nationally recognised qualifications, enabling staff to pursue accredited professional development that enhances their expertise and career progression.
Our mentoring and coaching programmes ensure that development is personalised, purposeful, and sustained. Staff are encouraged to engage in action research, contribute to school improvement initiatives, and take on leadership responsibilities as part of their professional journey.
Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We value the expertise within our team and create time for staff to share best practice, observe one another, and work together on curriculum design and pedagogy. Whether through subject networks, teaching and learning communities, or leadership development pathways, we are committed to growing talent from within.
