We offer comprehensive Continuous Professional Development (CPD), whether you are support staff, a new teacher, experienced middle leader or have aspirations to become a senior leader.

In addition, we encourage our staff to learn from each other and collaborate on a variety of working groups and cross-trust forums.

We have a thorough and supportive onboarding, induction and probationary process.

A collaborative, trust-wide approach, enables staff to benefit from a range of internal and external activities and support throughout their careers. This includes conferences where we all come together.

We offer excellent opportunities in both primary and secondary teacher training. Our SCITT routes and School Direct courses are particularly attractive for those wishing to secure an ECT opportunity within our schools. Similarly, our commitment and support to new teachers whilst they undertake their two-year ECT programme is outstanding.

We have also developed and are continuing to develop internal training programmes, which help staff gain the skills they need to advance. These include our unique Leadership Development Programme and Senior Leadership Development Programme.
