Continued professional development.

Our CPD offer this year reflects the true spirit of collaboration across our partner schools, including a greater emphasis on sharing cross-phase expertise. Teachers have worked together to design some excellent innovative programmes, many of which are sustained over time so that teachers have the opportunity between sessions to refine ideas and embed different approaches. Research and evidence has proven that such programmes are much more likely to have a lasting impact on pupil outcomes.

Our Teaching School ethos; Learn, Teach, Grow, Share has very much guided and shaped our programme:

Learn

We are life-long learners, always striving to enhance our learning, understanding of how children learn and how we can overcome barriers to learning.

Teach

As life-long learners we are continuously developing and refining our practice and pedagogy, drawing on evidence based teaching and action research to enhance our own practice.

Grow

As a Teaching School part of our remit is to grow leaders and our programme reflects this. Our offer supports staff at all stages of their professional development, from ITT, NQT and NQT+1, through to Middle Leadership and Aspirant Heads.

Share

We fundamentally believe in a school-led system of school improvement and want to share the outstanding practice that we have in our Alliance with all schools in the local area.

We believe that there is something for everyone in our professional development programme to support inspirational teaching and leadership and hope that we have the opportunity of welcoming you to the National Forest Teaching School.
