Special school CPD package and courses

Price: £2,350

Overview of our evolving offer

We believe Continuing Professional Development (CPD) should be more than just an obligation. It is a powerful tool for improving outcomes for pupils, schools and staff.

For 2025-26, our CPD offer is evolving to better meet your diverse needs. We are moving to a new model centred around two distinct packages - the Collaborative Package and the Access Package. 

You can choose the CPD model that best suits your context and priorities. Each option is designed to deliver high quality and impactful training. 

Special schools will continue to have access to secondary and post-16 subject networks and  Professional Learning Exchanges.

What's included?

The Collaborative Package

This package is for schools seeking tailored, collaborative development. It's a partnership between Hackney Education and your school. You can create bespoke training programmes that address your unique needs. We are excited to pilot this approach with seven schools.

Benefits of this model:

  • A tailored training programme to meet your priorities
  • Opportunities to learn with other schools and influence borough side training needs
  • Ongoing support via structured planning discussions
  • Programmes designed using the EEF evidence informed implementation guide, ensuring they are grounded in research and proven to be effective
  • Directly addresses Ofsted's emphasis on the strategic delivery of professional development

Commitment requirements:

  • Five 45 minute meetings with a senior staff member to shape you school's programme
  • Participation in collaborative learning discussions with other schools

The Access Package

This package is for schools prioritising flexible access to our existing training. It offers a ready to go training solution without the time commitment of a bespoke programme.

Benefits of this model:

  • Access to all core modules covering essential topics for staff development
  • Option to join other schools' bespoke programmes, expanding learning beyond your own setting

Commitment requirements:

  • None - simply select the training sessions that suit your team

Common elements available through both packages (and on a pay as you go basis)

  • Subscriptions: Evidence Snacks Pro
  • Statutory training: Safeguarding, Moderation, Health and Safety, Sustainability Network and Governance training
  • Core modules: Ofsted briefings, Modern Foreign Languages, Music, Professional Learning Exchanges/Subject Networks and Finance/HR insights
  • School-led modules: Defined and developed in Summer 2025
