Subject Leaders Networking / CPD

We aim to continue to provide a forum in which Subject Leaders can:

• meet to discuss the latest national and local subject developments
• share knowledge, good practice, innovation and ideas in order to develop teaching and learning within their departments
• develop a culture for sharing and pooling resources and expertise
• participate in opportunities offered for moderation and standardisation to raise standards
• access external subject specific/ association/ exam board CPD 

There will be one twilight session per term

We offer subject networks in Maths, Science, MFL, History, Geography and Latin/Classics and sessions are provided free of change

Peer to Peer Reviews

"The whole process has been an excellent Leadership learning experience for our Assistant Head. She has valued the opportunity to visit other schools and to be able to have the professional conversations around effectiveness of provision. She has grown as a leader throughout this review process and the students and school will benefit from this" EPCHS, Headteacher

 "Overall, an excellent model that has not only supported our own school improvement journey but has strengthened my AHT’s knowledge and understanding – superb CPD"  St. Nicholas Catholic High School, Headteacher
