Professional Development

We offer a range of courses to support the professional development of colleagues in schools. Our courses are designed to meet the current needs of schools and those who work in them and are led by school practitioners with a proven record of successful leadership and teaching.

This course runs on six half-day sessions spread over the academic year.  The purpose of the course is to support middle leaders in their role with practical advice on topics ranging from raising achievement to managing staff and having difficult conversations.*

*Due to current restrictions we are unable to schedule any dates for Shoulder to Shoulder.  If you are interested in joining this programme please e-mail NQT@adfecto.org.uk and we will notify you as soon as dates are planned.

This course is led by experienced leaders from across Gloucestershire’s secondary schools.  It takes place over three mornings, calendared quite closely together, hosted in three different secondary schools.*

*Due to current restrictions we are unable to schedule any dates for Practice Matters.  If you are interested in joining this programme please e-mail NQT@adfecto.org.uk and we will notify you as soon as dates are planned.
