Continuing Professional Development

Effective CPD is at the heart of our work to engage, develop and retain talented staff in the schools within our region. Our CPD adheres to the following key principles,:

• Built around participants’ needs
• Focuses of two terms or longer
• Subject Specific Content
• A clear, logical thread
• Involves explicit discussion, reflection and active research
• External input
• Collaborative learning
• Powerful Leadership

Within each school in our alliance the specific CPD programme varies according to the needs of our particular context. Yorkshire Schools Alliance provides an extensive CPD programme across our schools, which can be found here  The courses from the CPD booklet can be booked onto through Eventbrite.

Staff from other schools are also welcome to join us. Sessions for staff from other schools are individually priced – please contact admin@yorkshiresa.co.uk if there is a session which would interest you.
