STAFF DEVELOPMENT
Staff attend five training days per year (pro rata) to extend their knowledge, skills and expertise in order to help the school meet its aims. In addition, teachers attend training on Tuesday evenings for 1 hour, weekly. Opportunities for supporting an individual's personal professional development are laid out in the Staff Development and Performance Management Policy. Staff wishing to attend courses must first complete a training application form, giving reasons why the training will benefit them and the school. These forms are reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team each week and must be agreed before processing. All staff attending courses must carefully consider how they will use the information or skills gained and how this will support the work of Woodlands in the long and short term.
