Why professional development is crucial to retention and recruitment

Professional development, and whether an employer takes it seriously, can have a profound influence on an individual’s career decisions, particularly for the Millennial generation who place great value on job satisfaction.

How do we evaluate the impact of CPD?

Improving skills and building specialisms all benefit the individual while also contributing to school-wide needs and guiding plans for school improvement. But as CPD becomes more personalised how we evaluate its impact also becomes a key question. Find out why in our new blog.

How our schools do it

“We’ve been very lucky that we’ve been able to recruit some fantastic people who are dedicated to continually improving. We’re very proud that we’ve been able to train and quickly promote staff”
