The SakuraCPD course calendar:
Your year at a glance

Watch. | Learn. | Implement. | Improve.

For schools that are looking for a complete solution to their CPD, we offer an Academic Year Plan which incorporates all our training courses. This allows Teachers and relevant staff across the school to complete their weekly CPD within a time that suits them rather than in the staff room on a Wednesday.

Each half term targets a key Ofsted theme and is broken into weekly, focused CPD modules, all mapped directly to Teachers’ Standards. The format supports sustained professional growth, reflective discussion in PPA, as well as direct links to monitoring cycles and school improvement planning.

I was hoping to gain a better understanding of how to manage behaviour positively and support children with SEND needs, and the session delivered clear, practical strategies that I can use in my school. The real-life examples made the content even more meaningful. Thank you.”
