School Leadership Programme Member

I’ve really been lacking confidence in my subject knowledge and I wish I’d attended this course sooner! Surely this is a course that any NQT, or teacher in their first few years, would benefit from. The speakers were fantastic - explanations were clear, insightful and the topics challenged my understanding.

Kat Mant, English Teacher, Kingsbridge Academy

We always strive to improve, and the PTI is an excellent vehicle for driving this forward in a way which is controlled, sustainable, and achievable.

[The PTI] inspires me as a learner to go back to the classroom and inspire my learners.

The chance to hear about how a very diverse group of schools is grappling with broadly similar issues in developing learning is golden. We've used the project to further develop learning of staff, from which the students have benefited enormously.

Nick Heppel, Assistant Headteacher, King Edward VI Handsworth School

[The PTI] offers unique CPD which is of unrivalled quality. The principles behind the PTI and the enthusiasm of its staff really help to re-engage teachers.

It’s nice to think about my subject as part of my role rather than just data, pedagogy, texts. It gives me the opportunity to draw threads through what I’m doing.

Subject Leadership Programme member

The [Subject Enrichment Residential] has allowed me to rediscover my love of my subject and my own love of learning. It is through this new found passion for the subject that I will be my refocusing on teaching it to the best of my ability. The course has reminded me of the power and the importance of English to change lives of the pupils, support them in times of trouble and guide them towards the successes they deserve.

Subject Leadership Programme member

Just - thank you so much. It’s inspiring to listen; it’s empowering to be listened to.
