Training opportunities for teachers and school staff
The Education Improvement Service is committed to promoting the highest standards of pupil attainment and progress through the development of schools and other educational settings. We are particularly focused on developing high quality, strategic leadership, teaching and learning and on closing the gaps for vulnerable groups.
Our expert staff offer schools planned and bespoke support packages to address weaknesses through various monitoring, training and advice channels. We want Nottinghamshire to be a place where children are safe, happy and healthy, where everyone enjoys a good quality of life and where everyone can achieve their potential.
Courses
We are working together with TSAs and local Learning Partnerships to develop a coherent and cohesive continued professional learning offer each term. This will address the challenges Nottinghamshire schools face in raising achievement for our most vulnerable groups of learners, especially at KS2. The initial offer will focus on reading, writing, mathematics, leadership and readiness to learn.
Courses we offer:
- Leadership and Management
- Closing the Gaps
- Assessment
- EYFS
- Speech and Language Training
- Language for Life
- Newly Qualified Teachers
- SEN and TA Training

The Council's Education and Improvement Service provides a range of training opportunities for teachers and school staff.
