Improving teaching and learning practice is vital in giving your pupils access to the highest possible quality of education, as well as building a confident, resilient staff team.
Most leaders aren’t trained to lead CPD strategically. You’re expected to do it well, but often without clear guidance on what actually works. And now, with Ofsted judging professional learning explicitly, the stakes are higher. Your CPD investment needs to be strategic and coherent. Limited budgets mean it has to land.
Our modules and programmes will help you.
Our online learning modules help leaders understand what’s actually happening in their CPD. We help you see not just whether you’re doing it, but whether it’s working. You’ll move beyond activity and see the difference between initiatives that genuinely change teaching and those that don’t. Each 90-minute module focuses on essential areas of CPD leadership: strategic planning, building coherence, collaborative cultures, and using evidence. These modules are grounded in what we’ve learned from working with over 500 schools and will help you navigate Ofsted’s new focus.
You’ll learn through interactive activities, research, and real school leaders’ voices. Case studies show practical applications, and you’ll have space to reflect on your own context.
Our free Hub is a space for leaders of CPD across schools, trusts, and teams. By creating a free account, you gain access to resources that help you evaluate, implement, and plan effective professional development.
