What the school offers its staff
At Notre Dame the ongoing professional development of all staff is a key priority.

We also aim to help staff to be ready for their ‘next step’ in their careers whatever that might be.
In order to achieve these aims we;
• have an ethos of ‘learning together’ through joint practice development which is conducted in a supportive and developmental way. Staff are encouraged to take risks and use research and evidence based approaches to improve their classroom practice.
• Encourage staff to be reflective and take the lead in their own professional development so that their individual needs are met
• Provide trainee mentoring programmes for those moving in to new positions for example middle and senior leadership
