Professional Development

High quality continuous professional development is an entitlement for all staff. A number of progression routes exist for teaching and support staff, including the opportunity to work across the different phases of education and schools within the trust.

We offer a number of programmes and qualifications, including:

• Initial teacher training and QTS (qualified teacher status) programmes

• Higher Level Teaching Assistant Certificate

• Apprenticeships

• Challenge Partners Programmes

• Coaching

• The De Curci Trust Conference (annual)

• National Professional Qualifications e.g. NPQH

• National Vocational Qualifications

• Peer Review

• Research communities

All staff have a designated appraiser with whom they can review and plan their professional development.
