We offer a broad range of high-quality training and development opportunities for all school staff. We lead networks, facilitate training programmes and host conferences. Our annual training and development programme provides a one-stop-shop for headteachers who wish to invest in high-quality professional development for their staff at the best possible price.
‘Led by schools, for schools’ – as an alliance of schools we know that there is nothing more frustrating than investing in professional development activities for your staff that don’t have an impact in the classroom. We work hard to ensure that all of our provision is relevant, up to date and informed by the latest evidence and research, which leads to lasting impact on the practice of participants, their school and its pupils.
Our professional learning programmes are designed in partnership with schools. We use a comprehensive quality assurance framework to ensure that our training and development meets the needs of schools and is of the highest quality. We work with some of the best and most renowned trainers and facilitators to ensure individuals who access our programmes improve their practice and schools improve their outcomes. Based on feedback, 99% of participants rate our training as good or excellent.
We ensure that all of our professional development and training is affordable to schools. We regularly review our prices to ensure we are always competitive and our subscription bundles offer great discounts whilst ensuring we provide schools with the very best in terms of professional learning and development.
