CPD
Continuing professional development is an integral part of professional life at The Friary School and we aim to ensure our staff grow and flourish just as well as our students.
Our CPD programme is plotted through the year and whatever you role there are opportunities to challenge yourself, improve yourself and move forward in your working life.
Teachers
Our teachers benefit from a broad internal package of training that focuses on our Friary Framework approach but also branches out into wider themes whether this be linked to leadership or safeguarding, raising achievement or pastoral interventions, and more besides.
There are also external opportunities which include National Professional Qualifications, PIXL, local Teaching School provision and Exam Board training.
Furthermore, we have fixed term staff development posts which come up periodically and support teachers in moving forward in their career.
