Southwold Primary School
Developing quality teaching through professional development
What problems were in your school and how did you identify them?
Southwold has a turbulent past, with a history of teaching that did not address the needs of pupils well enough.
What actions did you take?
Through its partnership with two other Hackney Schools, Southwold delivers a responsive CPD programme for its classroom support staff as well as its teaching staff. Evaluations from these are used to improve subsequent training in a weekly programme, with a clear focus on how effective learning can be maximised in the classroom. Personalised training support is used in addition to this to develop experienced and new teachers to become the best they can be.
What were the outcomes?
All groups of pupils at Southwold make significantly better progress than those nationally with outcomes well above those expected.
