Easy, highly effective CPD planning, tracking & reporting

As all school leaders know, whole-school CPD is fundamentally important to driving improved learning outcomes for pupils.  

A sound plan that is implemented and executed effectively ensure that all teachers, teaching assistants and governors are clear about the knowledge, skills and expertise they need to do a great job so that overall, they are able to provide outstanding outcomes for their pupils.

Common challenges with CPD Planning and training

As a group of former head teachers and advisors, we have first-hand experience of the challenges leaders and teachers face with CPD planning, training and impact reporting.

  • Coordinating, organizing and timetabling training for an entire staff is complex and time-consuming.
  • CPD training is sourced from various providers making it difficult to keep track of.
  • Tracking, monitoring and evidencing the CPD plan and progress of every individual is challenging and time consuming.
  • Financial pressures mean not all staff are able to access the extent of CPD they want and need.
  • All the above can result in inconsistency of quality of learning across year groups, or classes within the same year group.
