‘Across Rise we put professional development at the heart of everything we do. We know that to raise pupil outcomes, the best lever is to develop our teachers. We offer a range of professional development programmes that follow the EEF guidance, in that teachers have the opportunity to see teaching techniques modelled, have time to practice them in a supportive environment, and have chance to apply these straight away in their practice.

We also offer training for our leaders within school, including our local governors. Our leadership programmes compliment what happens in our schools, and provide support for leaders to ensure that every school flourishes and succeeds.’
