As a Trust, our core values resonate powerfully through our actions: Ambition for All is the founding stone of the Centre for Professional Development.

Our CPD offer has been composed alongside Principals and school leaders to ensure it links to your development priorities. We are proud to work with high-quality providers to support your ongoing development.

How to Apply
Thank you for exploring the opportunities for professional learning available to you in the year ahead through the Centre for Professional Development.
Your forthcoming Performance Management dialogue is the perfect opportunity to discuss your development needs and aspirations with your line manager.
The course booking form is available here.
I believe we should encourage and celebrate you exercising your skilled judgement in the best interests of the children in your care, so I will never insist on a "one size fits all" approach, though we do and should have lots in common.
