Staff Roles and Responsibilities

Professional Development at Archbishop Cranmer

All our staff are committed to their own Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through attending regular training courses by a variety of providers. Their performance is regularly monitored  and impact noted through our rigorous management process to ensure our staff are fully skilled and equipped with the most up-to-date training. Our weekly staff meetings are focused on school improvement and regularly contain an element of training and sharing good practice.

For our early career and recently qualified teachers, the Early Career Teacher (ECT) induction is a statutory requirement and is designed to ensure all our ECTs receive the best possible start to their careers in education. It aims to provide a high-quality programme of support, mentoring and assessment, and together with the Early Career Framework (ECF) , acts as an extension of Initial Teacher Training, providing them with a strong foundation.

• The ECT  Appropriate Body Service we are working with is  the Flying High Teaching Hub.
• We also work closely with Nottingham Trent University and also Torch  SCITT alongside their Teacher Training Program.
• Experienced teachers and support staff are encouraged to explore and develop their pedagogy by going on external courses and through undertaking further professional qualifications such as MEds and SEND National Award.
• All staff are encouraged and supported in developing their leadership skills and qualities, both inside and outside the classroom. 
• For all of our teachers we run a range of whole day, twilight and lunchtime training sessions covering a wide variety of educational topics.
