Inspiring staff

Building collaborative staff networks to share best practice, find solutions to common problems and offer continued professional development by:

• Developing cross-school networking opportunities for staff to learn with and from each other
• Identifying future education leaders and collectively providing opportunities to develop their career and skills
• Working together to address skills and knowledge gaps within governing bodies.

Current BEP projects to inspire staff:

A month-long programme of CPD events takes place in June and is open to all Bristol teachers, with sessions from local, national and international speakers.

BEP Staff Networks

There are a range of staff networks bringing colleagues together on different themes and in different subject areas to share practice and learn from each other. Examples include: PSHE Hub, History Group; Careers Advisers Network and Pride Network.
