Working in a Church of England School opens up a whole range of professional development opportunities. Where once Local Authorities provided training for our schools, with the reallocation of resources through central government and the move to all schools becoming Academies, the Diocesan Education team has sought to ensure that schools still have access and are signposted to appropriate and quality assured training opportunities across the academic year.
The outline entitlement of support for schools in Church of England Birmingham is as follows:
NQT Induction
Data Analysis
Middle Leadership
Senior Leadership
Recruitment of Senior Staff
Support for Governance
We also hold regular training events, both general and tailored, to individual schools and groups of schools.
Our Schools Senior Leadership Conference held annually on the first Friday in March provides an enjoyable and stimulating opportunity for senior leaders to gather, network and listen to a number of relevant keynote speakers.
