We are now recruiting schools to the Wellcome CPD Challenge.

This is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference to educational policy and practice on a national level. Our region has been chosen as the only area of the country in which this pilot study will run. Over two years, forty primary, secondary and special schools will be challenged to meet a set of criteria relating to the quality and quantity of continuing professional development for teachers.

Please look out for further information by email, post and on Twitter, and attend our information event on Wednesday 2 May at Sheffield Hallam University from 4.30 – 6.30.  By coming to this meeting you will be able to hear more about the project from Professor Sir John Holman, Senior Adviser in Education to Wellcome, meet the team running the Challenge, and learn how to get involved.
