Training, Professional Development and Continuous Learning

---

 Continuous professional development and learning is crucial for practitioners to thrive and for students to succeed. We offer a range of high-quality training and development programs designed to enhance teaching and learning effectiveness and improve student outcomes. 

“The {new} report finds that a well-implemented policy of 35 hours a year of high quality CPD for teachers would lead to significant benefits for pupils, including an extra two-thirds of a GCSE grade – improving their lifetime earnings by over £6,000.”
