School CPD
learning today - leading tomorrow
Effective teaching in the classroom is now widely considered the most important school-level factor in determining pupil outcomes. Effective management and leadership development is also crucial to this process.
Effective professional development for teachers is a core part of securing effective teaching. It cannot exist in isolation; rather it requires a pervasive culture of scholarship with a shared commitment for teachers to support one another to develop.DfE July 2016
Teachers say that good CPD is:
Bespoke - to school culture, vision and values
Flexible - for a variety of different contexts
Incremental - so that change can happen over time
Proven - to work in their particular context
Incentivised - with direct and indirect benefits
Introduction
TFL Education’s leadership development framework provides a unique opportunity for you to design your School CPD programme around a Qualification Framework (RQF) of internationally recognised management and leadership qualifications. Crucially the programme is context specific, delivered in-house/online and externally quality assured through TFL Education and the Chartered Management Institute.
From new entrants into the profession (teaching assistants, NQT’s, classroom teachers), through to Level 7 ‘Masters’ (middle leaders and senior leaders), and ultimately onto Level 8 ‘Chartered’ status, the highest recognition of management and leadership available, the structured framework supports your staff at every stage of their career to develop their management and leadership knowledge and expertise, increase their impact as a leader, and improve outcomes for pupils.

Design, Delivery, Duration and Assessment…
All of our qualification programmes are mapped to National Occupational Standards for Management and Leadership and are accredited by the Royal Chartered Management Institute.
Programme design
We work with your school to design your leadership development programme so that it is bespoke to your context, ensuring the mode of delivery meets the needs of your staff and stakeholders. We ensure that your programme and your delivery plan meets the Ofqual approved assessment criteria detailed within our qualifications.
Programme delivery
We provide an online learning/coaching delivery method for our qualifications that aims to support the development of management and leadership skills, which can immediately be utilised to impact operational efficiency. The courses encourage participants to tie ideas to action to create real impact within your school.
Programme duration
The length of study time will depend on the units chosen. As a rough guide:
Award: 1-3 months
Certificate: 3-6 months
Diploma: 6-12 months
Programme assessment
We have developed approved assignment briefs for each of the qualifications in our professional development framework, ensuring that your staff can meet the respective assessment criteria for each qualification.
The assignment briefs provide best practice guidelines, examine school-based scenarios, and encourage your staff to apply management and leadership tools, models and theories to increase their leadership impact and improve outcomes.
Once your staff complete and submit their assignment briefs we then provide a direct route to accreditation.

What our clients say…
I highly recommend the CPD qualification routes available through TFL Education. We currently have all senior leaders at King's Leadership Academy undertaking the Level 7 Strategic Management and Leadership qualification, which leads to 'Chartered' status. The qualification has allowed us to create a professional development programme bespoke to our requirements, leadership culture and philosophy.Dr. Andrew Reay | Chief Strategic Officer | Great Schools Trust
