Where Next - progression for HLTAs

Gaining HLTA status is a recognised progression route for support staff working with teachers to personalise provision, raise standards, promote inclusion and help each learner fulfil their potential. Having gained the status, many HLTAs are interested in extending their professional development still further. Our popular 3 day Where Next?' programme is the ideal vehicle for this.

Self Evaluation Toolkit

The Self Evaluation Toolkit is an interlinking suite of tools which can connect self-evaluation processes, school improvement action planning, and reports to governors. With the relaxing of the requirement for schools to complete an online Self Evaluation Form (SEF) the Self Evaluation Toolkit is an ideal way for schools to have information available for Ofsted that has a wider range of uses for the school.
