What the school offers its staff
At Oakmoor we offer a diverse programme of professional development to enable teachers to enrich their practice in areas that they have identified and want to develop. Professional development is closely linked to our school strategic plan, our Teaching and Learning Principles, and individual performance management. This is to ensure that we are improving and enhancing the school as well as our individual practice. We are committed to creating a culture where every teacher can continuously develop and improve, “not because they are not good enough but because they can be even better.” In such a culture “there is no limit to what we can achieve.” (Dylan Wiliam).
Our performance management system is entirely focused on teaching, with time provided for teachers to work on developing their practice. All teachers identify an aspect of their teaching to focus on, research evidence-based teaching strategies, and then undertake a period of deliberate practice, monitoring the impact of this on students’ learning. The outcomes of this are shared within departments and wider across the school so we all contribute to our professional learning community.
Staff also have access to wide variety of training opportunities, through the University of Chichester Academy Trust, the Research Schools Network, the National College, Hampshire Teaching and Leadership College, and a range of other providers. A number of colleagues have participated in the NPQ programmes in recent years. We encourage everyone on our team to take their professional development seriously and are keen to support wherever we can.
For Early Career Teachers (ECTs), our programme has been recognised as delivering the highest grading for guidance and support for our newly qualified teachers. Our ECTs have a mentor who works in partnership with them to ensure that they continue to develop throughout the academic year. Their mentor observes lessons and provides regular feedback on the quality of their teaching as well as offering helpful advice on how to improve further. This support programme continues once qualified teacher status has been achieved, as staff progress into our Recently Qualified Teacher (RQT) programme, This has been developed to ensure that support and professional learning is on-going, as we recognise that we have different needs at different stages of our career.
For professional services staff wishing to become teachers, we have a successful School Direct programme which is delivered jointly through our close link with the University of Chichester. This programme provides an opportunity to train with us for one year and includes a second placement in another school for one half term. When accepted onto our School Direct Programme, trainees are fully integrated into our staff team and are supported to ensure that they are given every opportunity to develop the skills required to become an outstanding teacher. To date, we have a 100% pass and employment rate and we expect to see this continue in the future.
