ABOUT US

Inspire Professional Development is part of The Blue Kite Academy Trust. We believe that great schools cannot exist without great teachers, and that great teachers can continue to get better.

At Inspire, we provide the Department for Education's 'golden thread' of quality training and continuous professional development. The Golden Thread is a key strategy of the DfE and as such has evidence informed, research based professional development programmes that are designed for each stage of a teacher's career. This starts with the Core Content Framework for Initial Teacher Training, to the Early Career Framework which provides a two-year induction for Early Career Teachers, to the specialist and leadership National Professional Qualifications. We are able to support professionals in the education industry at every stage of their career.

Initial Teacher Training (ITT)
