We have been impressed with the support from the team and the quality of content.

Dan Roberts found The National College:
  • Significantly saves school money
    As we can run asynchronous PLD, we can now help our staff to go home on the earlier buses with our students, so it is a saving on only running one bus. It also has saved us time for SLT/MLs on planning PLD, which means they are using their time with students.
  • Significantly improves teacher knowledge
    We have embarked on a whole school instructional coaching model, and being able to upskill coaches via this course on the National College platform has been highly effective. We have also improved teachers knowledge and understanding of mental health (for students and staff). Finally, the subject specific pedagogy that can be offered is great.
  • Significantly improves school processes
    It has made the delivery of professional learning & development much more effective.
  • Significantly improves parent engagement
    All of our parents now have access to high quality resources on internet safety - something they have been asking for more support with.
  • Significantly improves attainment
    While it has only been a short while, we expect the upskilling of our staff to translate into improved progress and attainment for our students; after all, this is why we do professional learning & development!
