Staff Training

Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is committed to providing a wealth of CPD opportunities for staff across a range of stages in their careers. The CPD we offer is varied and responds to the needs of the schools, the staff and the Multi Academy Trust.  Staff from across the MAT access a shared CPD calendar and are able to attend CPD offered by any of the schools within the Finham Park MAT.

Finham Park MAT leads a 3 year Teaching and Learning cycle, which is shared by all schools, and this drives part of the CPD programme. Our Teaching and Learning focus, Responsive Teaching, is at the heart of our CPD.

Examples from Finham Park MAT CPD include:
