At Avanti, we firmly believe that elevating the quality of education for our students begins with a commitment to high-quality professional development for teachers, leaders, and support staff at every stage of their careers.

Professional development, in our perspective, is not a destination but an ongoing journey at Avanti. It serves as an indispensable tool for nurturing, engaging, motivating, and retaining the talented individuals who make up the entire Avanti team. This continuous process acts as a catalyst for transformative change, fostering educational innovation, and propelling sustained school improvement.

​

We hold a strong conviction that every member of our team can advance, irrespective of their previous experiences or starting points. This belief is grounded in the understanding that individuals are driven to enhance their knowledge and skills, stay abreast of changes and reforms, achieve personal ambitions and progress in their careers. As educators, we recognise a moral imperative to strive for improvement – not solely for our benefit but also for the inspiration we provide to those around us and, most importantly, for the students we serve.

Central to our mission is the provision of high-quality professional development, recognised not only as a facilitator of staff development but also as a crucial driver of recruitment, retention, and overall wellbeing (DfE, 2016).

​

Quoting the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), we emphasise that "High-quality, structured continuing professional development is the most effective way we have of helping teachers improve outcomes for their pupils."

​

At Avanti, our commitment to ongoing professional development reflects our dedication to the continuous enhancement of education, ensuring that our educators remain equipped, inspired and empowered to deliver exceptional learning experiences for our students.
