Staff Learning and
Development
The Loddon School is
fully committed to the development and training
of staff, to ensure a continued positive quality
of life for the children and young people who
attend the school, particularly with reference
to autism, positive approaches and personalised
learning.
Staff are provided
with the relevant training and development
opportunities to enable them to become
confident, competent and informed members of
staff.
The school ensures that staff attend the courses
outlined in the Loddon School’s internal
training programme.
Learning events are
classified into several categories:
-
Orientation Day and
4-day induction training for all staff members.
-
A mandatory training
path for new staff members to undertake.
-
Team learning events
where teams who work together (school and
residential) learn, together, to ensure a
consistent approach for pupils across the
school. Team learning events focus on the needs
of specific pupils and the expertise required by
staff to best meet those needs. Staff also
attend additional learning events to update
their skills to ensure legal requirements are
met.
-
Specific learning
support generated by career path or personal
development profile and requirements
-
Regular supervision
of staff
The Loddon School’s
rolling learning programme for staff is
constantly under development to increase the
staff’s knowledge and skills, which ultimately
benefits the children and young people.
Each employee has
their own record of learning and the
responsibility for maintaining these will be the
employee and the training department.
