We offer a broad range of high-quality training and development opportunities for all school staff. We lead networks, facilitate training 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. As a trusted, not-for-profit organisation we keep the costs of our programmes to an absolute minimum whilst ensuring we provide schools access to the very best in terms of professional learning and development.
The Gateway Alliance School Business Manager (SBM) network offers business managers an opportunity to access professional development focused specifically on their role and facilitated by an independent expert – Philippa Ollerhead – along with the opportunity to network with colleagues.
This course will be delivered via 2 online sessions. The first session is now available as a recording and the 2nd session, coming up in February, will focus on effectively delivering and leading ‘Design’ as a key concept.
The theme for our SENCo conference this year will be The Inclusive Classroom and we are delighted to welcome Sara Alston, author of “The Inclusive Classroom: A new approach to differentiation” to lead part of the day for us.
This full day, face to face course will focus on introducing History & Geography in the Early Years. The day will provide timely & valuable support to those seeking to clarify their understanding & manage the implementation of the revised learning, development & assessment requirements for Geography & History in the EYFS.

Gateway have been leading professional networks for schools since 2012 and we are continually adapting and improving our provision based on feedback from teachers and leaders. Our programme is reviewed annually and updated to ensure it is fit for purpose and continues to meet the needs of schools.
