Why invest in developing new teachers’ subject knowledge?

Improve student outcomes – high-quality CPD for teachers has a significant effect on pupils’ learning outcomes.

“There is good evidence that high-quality professional development (CPD) for teachers can significantly improve pupils’ attainment.” Education Policy Institute, 2020

Inspire effective teachers – not only does CPD impact teacher effectiveness, it can also improve teacher retention and wellbeing.

““Not only is more CPD likely to improve their teaching, but it may also improve the wellbeing and retention of teachers.” Education Policy Institute, 2021” 

Tried & tested CPD – now entering their 14th year, the Subject Expertise Certificate has consistently achieved fantastic feedback from participants and their schools. 

“Our NQT has been able to reflect on different approaches to teaching and learning, which has fed into her practice. She shares ideas and resources from the course, and has had an injection of enthusiasm that is felt by the whole team.” Head of Department
