The development of effective professional development in schools is considered important, in order to raise standards of teaching and leadership and to contribute to increasing pupil outcomes. The importance is now reflected in the 2026 Ofsted Inspection Framework
To support schools’ evaluation of their own processes, the EEF have produced a thoughtful report which you can read here.
