BEST TRUST
BEST Trust aims to support schools and their staff to be the best they can be in order to improve the life chances of all pupils in their care. Through professional learning, both online and face to face and consultancy support for school leaders, the Trust works with a range of providers including individual schools, multi-academy trusts and other educational organisations.
In response to an ever-evolving educational landscape, it is becoming increasingly important for schools to find ways to maximise budget capacity whilst retaining high quality professional development. BEST recognises the critical importance of CPD in any profession. It aims to extend knowledge and develop competency across the sector, allowing professionals to keep up with new practices and changes in legislation. As a registered charity, BEST supports working groups of professionals to embed evidence-based practice, create materials and establish focused learning communities.
The BEST national training programme is determined by our members, EEF guidance, DFE policy and the latest OFSTED Framework. It is continually updating in order to serve the varied needs of its members.
