CPD during Covid: Things have changed forever

CPD Coronavirus Flexible working
CPD has been transformed during the pandemic – with many agreed that it has changed forever. Yvonne Gandy finds out how the CPD offer of one of the regional Teaching School Hubs has reached a global audience after adapting during Covid-19


CPD, like many aspects of life in the UK, will not be the same again once the pandemic is under control and life begins to return to “normal”.

That is the clear view of Sufian Sadiq, director of teaching school at the Chiltern Learning Trust, a cross-phase multi-academy trust of 11 schools based in and around Luton.

The MAT has just been announced as one of 81 new regional Teaching School Hubs that will replace the current network of 750 smaller teaching schools.

Chiltern, which will be responsible for two areas totalling 500 schools, has for some time been a major local player in CPD – as an Outstanding Leaders Partnership partner they deliver National Professional Qualifications to schools across their local area. The NPQs are still a major part of their work and are set to remain so in the next few years, certainly as they expand their reach as a Teaching School Hub.
