Continued Professional Development is offered to all our Teachers and Support staff to develop skills and ensure teaching knowledge is up-to-date.
The Staff Room works with a number of local training providers to offer full day training events to provide practical solutions to manage social, emotional and behavioural issues presented by children. All courses are based in the local area and can be booked with a member of the Staff Room team.
All of our teachers and support staff are required to complete our online Safeguarding in Education training course. This course has been written to meet the safeguarding needs of those working in the education sector. Essentially the equivalent of three courses in one, it covers child protection together with online safety and Prevent duty. The initial course is provided free of charge to all registered candidates (subsequent renewals every 2 years will be charged).
As a member of The Staff Room, you can have unlimited *free of charge* access to a range of Rising Stars online CPD courses, downloads and resources. These will provide you with an invaluable way of improving your knowledge and skills and keeping you up-to-date with the latest thinking. Once registered, our admin team will guide you through the registration process. For more information https://www.risingstars-uk.com
