We are keen to develop those who are new to the profession and also those further into their careers as teachers.
We have offered various courses including ITP, OTP and NAML.
We also ran NPQML for 3 years through the SSAT with our trained deliverers.
Quotes from our NPQML Cohort:
‘It was useful to reflect on our different priorities and future goals’
‘Making links between my personal vision and the school’s, and discussing what this wuold look like in the classroom’
‘Deeper understanding of effective project management’
‘Talking about approaches and priorities in teaching and learning’
‘Conversations re: progression pathways and identifying development needs’
Cohort 1 have given 100% overall feedback in all the modules as ‘Excellent’.
Applied Minds is committed to professional development and enabling schools to grow their own leaders.
The programme develops the skills, knowledge and behaviours that are needed to be a high-performing middle leader and drive school improvement strategies and team performance. The programme is aimed at teaching staff in primary, secondary and special school settings with responsibility for leading a team.
We can also deliver training to your school and develop bespoke professional development opportunities.

We at Applied Minds Teaching School are always striving to be open minded about progress and new ideas. We like to explore, engage with other leading educational professionals and trial and test new thinking in teaching and learning. We believe this innovative way of thinking enables us to re-think how ‘CPD’ is done and really begin to be evidence informed and research savvy.
We have created a number of research ‘circles’ which aim to discover over the course of a term what the latest research and thinking is and discuss and agree what and how it can be tried and tested in each of our settings. We are working cross-phase and encourage a system of shared responsibility and collaboration.
We are exploring a number of groups including:
3-18 Curriculum
Maths
PE
Cognitive Science
PSHE
REAL
Senco
RE
English/Literacy
IT/ICT
Artificial Intelligence
EYFS
Outdoor Learning
If you want to find out more or join us on this journey with any of the groups, do get in touch:
