Professional learning & expertise
We ensure that staff have access to high-quality, evidence-informed, sustained and coherent professional learning programmes that build expertise and are aligned to balance the priorities of whole-school improvement, subjects/teams/phases and individual needs
Our teachers are supported to meet the teaching standards through a blend of training, professional development, coaching, and mentoring.
Our support staff receive training alongside teachers, ensuring consistency and high expectations across all roles.
Practitioners receive targeted CPD on implementing effective adaptations to high-quality teaching.
CPD is aligned with the EEF Recommendations, enabling practitioners to deliver evidence-informed interventions.
Teachers receive training on the effective deployment of support staff and are allocated time for collaborative planning, assessment, and intervention discussions.
Teaching assistants engage in regular, role-specific training to ensure they are well-equipped to fulfil their responsibilities.
Senior leaders conduct audits in SEND-related areas, using the findings to inform and refine practice.
Monitoring visits by senior leaders evaluate the impact of school improvement actions on outcomes for learners with SEND.
