The Project
At Bexhill, due to our priorities and school development plan, there had been lots of CPD to help improve teaching and learning for teachers. School was in a much better position and I felt we needed to start to differentiate our CPD and spread our skills.
The Rationale...

The Future...
- Support TAs across all of Wise schools with half termly sessions.
- Use Bexhill to model effective use of TAs to other schools in Wise.
- This could be something the trust offers to new schools.
- Provide sessions for Teaching School to support School Direct students in using TAs effectively.
As the lead of Year 5 and Year 6, I've seen a huge improvement in the attitude, work ethic and skill set of the TAs within the unit this year. We work with TAs who have hugely enriched and refined their skills through the regular CPD sessions.
