What the school offers its staff
We offer a comprehensive CPD package when staff join our academy, underpinned by the EEF and the most up-to-date evidence base.
Our core approach to staff development is based on instructional coaching. We don’t believe in judging teaching with formal lesson observations but rather focus on developing staff collaboratively. All staff receive 1-1 bespoke coaching throughout the academic year by a trained teaching and learning coach from within the academy; we believe in zooming in on micro aspects of pedagogy to bring about sustained, longer-term changes to teaching practice.
Alongside our instructional coaching offer, staff will receive continuous CPD throughout the year on curriculum planning, subject knowledge enhancement, and pedagogy knowledge enhancement.
We recognise that staff will have career ambitions, and we offer a range of internal bespoke CPD pathways to meet their needs, as well as external opportunities such as the National Professional Qualifications or Masters accredited courses.
