Schools achieve better results when they harness the skills of their entire team. We have brought together a range of resources and programmes to make it easier for you to train and develop your support staff, and identify better ways of deploying them. These resources will help you make the most of their skills and expertise, and achieve better outcomes.
We have identified five key stages for support staff development. Use the links below to explore the resources, programmes and tools which will support you at each stage. All the information can be found in a booklet for school leaders, 'Unlock the potential of your support staff: develop the bigger picture', which is available to download or order online. You can also download a diagram showing the five key stages and the resources, tools and programmes to support them.
