Our workforce are the most valuable resource in our schools and as such we care about their ongoing development.
About
We are committed to improving the quality of education in our primary schools and making sure our schools receive the timely focused support they need. We manage a team of Schools Improvement Partners (SIP) across all eight local authorities and collaborate with various organisations and external partners to deliver the best education for our children.
Services
Our schools can choose to pay a Trust membership of £800.00 per year to access discounted subscriptions, free training and CPD opportunities throughout the year. At the moment, many of our schools are subscribed to the National College and National Online Safety, School Bus and SeeSaw. All training events and CPD listed below are free of charge to our members (unless stated otherwise). If you are not an Archdiocesan school but would like to join our training days, this would be at a cost of £100 per delegate. Please get in touch for more information.
We also offer a SIP service which is priced at £2,750.00 per year. We have a range of highly experienced SIPs who are consultants, recently retired headteachers or current serving headteachers. The SIP service ensures you are allocated 3 face to face days of SIP support. The SIP will be allocated an additional 2 days to research your school, plan their visits and write three reports per year (Autumn, Spring and Summer).
