Fully funded CPD for Teachers, Support Staff and School Leaders

Fully funded* CPD for Teachers, Support Staff and School Leaders

In partnership with the National College of Education (NCE), OTSA is delighted to be hosting a short webinar about fully funded apprenticeship programmes for school staff at all levels, including support staff and a Level 7 Apprenticeship with MSc. in Education Leadership and Management.

This short webinar, hosted by Gareth Alcott/Jess Musetti (NCE) and Adam Arnell (OTSA) will provide information about the Apprenticeship Levy, how it can be accessed and used effectively.

It will also provide ideas and exemplars of apprenticeships, specifically tailored to schools, using a range of NCE programmes and specialist programmes including:

Senior Leadership Programme for School Leaders on the leadership pay scale

Education Management Programme for Current Middle Leaders and Aspiring Senior Leaders

Future Leaders Programme for Team Leaders and Supervisors, is ideal for Support Staff who line manage more than one person to begin their leadership journey.

For September 2022 we are offering dedicated cohorts with expert enrichment:

Building a Reading School, Education Management Programme for English/Literacy Coordinators or those leading reading within a school, Trust or organisation (Primary, Secondary or Special). The programme has enrichment from Reading Intervention Specialist and national literacy expert, Alice Visser.
