TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
We have one of the best CPD offerings of any Trust or school, which we are always building on.
Reach Teach Primary Partnership
We design and deliver Initial Teacher Training and professional development for teachers and school leaders through a national partnership of over 80+ schools. Our accredited SCITT provides primary-specialist teacher training that not only develops the teachers of tomorrow, but provides exceptional CPD opportunities for experienced staff in our schools as part of our teacher educator team.
The Golden Thread of Teacher Development
We are an established delivery partner for leading education providers, delivering a 2 year ECF based training programme and National Professional Qualifications. This means our teachers and leaders benefit from the Golden Thread of teacher development every step of their career.
Coaching and Mentoring
We offer Coaching and Mentoring to school leaders, delivered by our own in-house specialists. This typically offers an opportunity for reflection and the development of greater insight into the individual’s self-awareness, self-management and personnel management skillset.
Continuing Professional Learning
REAch2 provides a rich professional learning offer for all staff because we know that everyone of our team plays a crucial role in educating children. From local and national subject and phase networks and CPD, evidence-informed pedagogical development, leadership conferences and training for various operational services, we are committed to ensuring all staff have equitable access to a range of opportunties. Staff develop via our Learning Pathways, undertaking apprenticeships, accredited and non-accredited in-house training that shape their development.
