Professional Development at Enquire Learning Trust

Empowering People. Elevating Practice.

At Enquire Learning Trust, we believe that the quality of education our children receive is directly linked to the quality of teaching and support our staff provide. That’s why professional development is at the heart of everything we do.

Every member of our team—whether in the classroom, the office, or behind the scenes—has a clear entitlement to continuous learning and growth.
