Training & Development

Rosebery School has created an innovative and purposeful climate for teaching and learning and the excellent practice seen throughout the school was recognised in our May 2017 Ofsted inspection, as well as through our Gold Coachmark Award and our Research Mark from the NFER.

Underpinning this is an extensive professional learning programme, which provides personalised development opportunities for staff including:

  • Coaching
  • Leadership programme
  • Departmental CPD
  • TeachMeets
  • MA Programme

We also understand that students play a pivotal role in shaping learning and have developed the following programmes to further inform pedagogical expertise:

  • Student co-planners

Rosebery has also developed extensive partnerships and collaborations with other schools and institutions, including GLF, UCL Institute of Education, NFER, South East Surrey Teaching School Alliance, Coachmark. These collaborations develop an in-school practice but also serve to support the development of teaching and learning externally.

We also feel privileged to offer the following to help support the work of others outside of our community:
