High-quality teaching, underpinned by a strong culture of continuous professional development.
At Burnley High School, we take pride in delivering a high-quality teaching and learning experience, underpinned by a strong culture of continuous professional development. All staff participate in weekly CPD sessions, which alternate between being led by members of the Senior Leadership Team, Teaching Leads and Heads of Department, ensuring a balanced focus on whole-school priorities and subject-specific development.
Our CPD programme is rooted in educational research, supporting staff to continuously refine their pedagogy and enhance student learning outcomes. On INSET days, staff engage with BHSED, a platform where colleagues lead and attend sessions focused on sharing best practice across the school. This collaborative approach ensures our staff remain reflective, informed, and committed to delivering excellent teaching.
Weekly sessions led by SLT, Teaching Leads, and Heads of Department keep practice aligned to whole-school priorities and subject needs.
BHSED: colleague-led professional learning
Our programme is grounded in evidence, helping staff refine pedagogy and improve outcomes through practical, collaborative study.
Collaborative inquiry and shared best practice
Team-building days strengthen collaboration, trust, and our shared commitment to the school community.
Team-building: Commando Day
INSET days via BHSED bring colleagues together to learn, share best practice, and stay aligned on great teaching.
