What are Professional Communities?

Termly Events with Compelling agendas

Agendas for Professional Community termly meetings are carefully planned to ensure they capture the priorities of community members, and connect these to the best of regional, national and available evidence.

Expert speakers

Contributors to community events will include leading national voices on issues, key officials from national agencies like Ofsted, researchers from the EEF and universities and leads from DfE CPD providers like English Hubs.

Expert facilitation and support

Our team of Professional Community leads provide a high level of expertise, enabling the design of high-quality agendas, recruitment of expert speakers and the identification of local expertise.

Focus on core business

Because your time is precious, we commit to ensuring that the agendas focused on your core business, such as teaching, assessment, and curriculum.

Impact statements from attendees at recent professional communities

Secondary English

Huge. From the meeting, my colleague and I were able to properly plan events for the next 12 months...

Secondary MFL

An immediate positive impact has been on classroom displays and classroom setting in order to reduce extraneous cognitive load.

Primary Art

Brilliant resources and ideas which can be easily implemented both in class but throughout a school.
