Staff Training & Events

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. It is through their incredible work and dedication that the students in our care can excel and thrive. In turn, it is our responsibility as a Trust to ensure that every adult in our community also has the right conditions to thrive and excel in their own work. 

We take the role of training and CPD very seriously at ALT. We know that people find meaning and satisfaction in learning and growing, and we want every colleague to feel challenged, stretched and supported in their journey of growth and development.

Why is CPD so Important?
 

Pupil Outcomes
When it comes to improving outcomes, no other factor comes close to the quality of teaching. 
For disadvantaged pupils, the impact is even greater.

Teacher Effectiveness

After just three years in service, teacher effectiveness plateaus.
Further improvement is minimal until the tenth year of service.
With the right development, most teachers can be as good as the very best.

Retention & Progression
A school that invests in high-quality CPD is likely to retain more teachers.
Given the current significant retention and recruitment challenges, this is vital for schools.
