Professional Development

Empowering educators to thrive.

Investing in teachers and leaders for student success.

Access to high-quality personal development opportunities is not a luxury but a necessity. The Education Endowment Foundation states that great teaching is the most powerful lever schools have to improve children’s education.

The Teacher Development Trust (2024) reported that ‘the single most important in-school factor affecting pupil outcomes is the quality of the teacher at the front of the class.’

Now more than ever, teachers and school leaders need to understand how to translate evidence about effective teaching into practice in the classroom. School staff need to feel involved in this process, and have professional learning embedded in their educational careers.

HEP’s Professional Development package is carefully catered to schools’ and trusts’ CPD needs, at all stages of your staff’s career. We listen to our member schools and adjust our programmes to suit needs, while also crafting specific development pathways for TAs, classroom teachers, middle leaders, Senior Leaders and the Office team to support retention and keep you ahead of the curve.
