TRAINING AND CPD
All practice needs to develop if it is not to become stagnant.
Your schedule of CPD (Continual Professional Development) will form an intrinsic part of this process, offering staff the dedicated time to consider new ideas, reflect on practice and plan for progression.
These may be focused around a specific theme...
Something;
- highlighted within an Ofsted report
- identified by an external visitor
- a new concept identified to you through media, reading or study
- questions raised by parents or staff

Delivering the highest quality practice every day demands an understanding that balances theory with practical application. Essential if we are to support and nurture all children's development.

To realise high quality practice, fundamental processes of observation, planning and assessment must work in harmony to support, but not dictate children's achievements.
