We firmly believe in the concept of ‘lifelong learners’. Whilst our students are learning on a daily basis, we ensure this culture of learning and development is embedded in staff practice. Our Continuing Professional Development and Learning (CPDL) programme for new and established teachers is diverse and focuses on the needs of both the school and the individual.

The Waddesdon teaching and learning Familiar Fundamentals are the bread and butter of highly skilled, highly attuned and highly effective Teaching and Learning.  These are accrued over years of reflective practice and through the sensible and open-minded application of research.  The Familiar Fundamentals thread through the CPDL progamme at Waddesdon, encouraging teachers to use research-informed pedagogies as part of their everyday practices.
