At St Peter’s Catholic School, a culture of continuous professional development is at our core, and we take pride in providing opportunities for all staff to have development opportunities. High quality teaching improves pupil outcomes, and effective professional development offers a crucial tool to develop teaching quality and subsequently enhance children’s outcomes in the classroom. Research has found that professional development, on average, has a positive effect on pupil attainment (EEF, 2021). The Teacher Development Trust’s ‘Developing Great Teaching’ report (2016) has stated that successful PD strategies a ‘sustained, coherent programme’ rooted in evidence and explicitly linked to student outcomes.
