Working in partnership across the Futura Learning Partnership we’re proud to offer teachers and leaders, at all stages in their career, high quality training and professional development.

We provide weekly opportunities for staff to come together to share best practice within Wellsway School and regular subject networks allow staff to develop work with staff from across our family of schools. Our staff training is practitioner led and directly linked to needs identified through self-evaluation and personalised to staff career stage and aspirations. We have a well-developed structure for curriculum specific CPDL led by Curriculum Team Champions who work across curriculum areas to share best practice and develop their leadership skills.

Training is best when it is bespoke and we have a successful induction programme for all new staff that is matched to career stage and that includes buddying and mentoring and is led by Leading Teachers from across the trust. For aspiring or recently appointed middle leaders, the Leading from the Middle programme allows staff to work on action research and work with leaders from across the trust, whilst our staff are also offered a variety of other leadership programmes from other local providers.

Our annual FLP Conference provides staff from across the trust to come together and share best practice across phase and stage. The ever growing event opens with a key note speaker carefully chosen to be relevant to all staff and is followed by a wide choice of sessions for staff to choose from.
