In partnership with The Ogden Trust, AVECC offers targeted Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities that deepen subject knowledge, strengthen pedagogy and support higher attainment in primary science.
Each autumn term, we launch the programme with a primary physics CPD session for primary science leads, delivered by The Ogden Trust. In the pilot phase, this takes the form of a 90-minute twilight session, coordinated with advice from Rochdale Council’s schools team.
As an example current session, “Surviving in Space” would aim to:
Each attendee receives a pack of 3D space cards to support follow-up work with pupils.
Over time, we aim to grow this into a more in-depth CPD offer, potentially drawing on programmes such as the Ogden Phizzi CPD model and other extended training.
The long-term aim is to:
Our teacher programmes are about building capacity. When we invest in teachers, we multiply impact across classrooms, year groups and whole schools. And that’s how change sticks.
