“In staff CPD, all junior subject departments have been asked to implement one Dev Ed “target”, similar to literacy and numeracy into their planning. This has started in the last term this year – hence, it will have to be reassessed at a later date. Some time in staff meetings and CPD has also been given to subject department groups for this planning” Diplomatic Global Passport Award Winner 2016
