Lighthouse Professional Development
One of the best things you can do help achieve a promotion and ensure you’re a success once you’ve taken up a new role is to take advantage of appropriate CPD opportunities and ensure your professional development portfolio is kept up-to-date. Lighthouse Professional Development is running hundreds of training events over the coming terms for Primary, Secondary and FE Teachers. Our hotel-based INSET days cover the latest curriculum developments and include a wealth of new ideas for teaching perennially tricky topics.
City Learning Centres
City Learning Centres provide free state-of-the art ICT based learning opportunities for pupils, teachers and the wider community. We are funded by DCSF. Our aim is to enhance learning and teaching across the whole curriculum.
Keele University
The University was founded to promote interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary scholarship and makes a distinctive contribution to higher education by emphasising the strength of a broad educational programme.
National Centre for Languages
CILT, the National Centre for Languages is the Governments recognised centre of expertise on languages. We want to stimulate enthusiasm for learning languages, to see more people achieving higher levels of competence in their studies, and using the skills and intercultural understanding they gain to benefit our wider society.
