October CPD

During the month of October, we have two CPD sessions available for subscribers of Collective Worship.

While the Collective Worship CPD sessions are aimed at primary staff, both primary and secondary staff may like to look ahead to book onto our online Advent Retreat.

Collective Worship (Primary)

Wednesday 12 October – On-boarding new staff (30 mins)
Thursday 13 October – Online Twilight Session (60 mins)

What other types of sessions and courses are there this coming academic year?

You can see a full list of sessions that will be offered as part of the 2022-2023 CPD Package on our website:

CPD Package

There will be sessions for primary and secondary school teachers linked to topics linked to Collective Worship and Life to the Full.

Perhaps you work in a primary school and would like to take advantage of our Collective Worship ‘Sharing Best Practice’ sessions?
Maybe you have new colleagues in your primary or secondary school and want to ensure they know all they need to get started with your school’s Ten Ten Resources subscriptions?
If you are based in a secondary school, might you welcome training on answering some of the difficult questions that can arise when teaching Relationships, Sex and Health Education, as supported by the Life to the Full programme?
At primary or secondary level, would you relish the opportunity to deep dive into the amazing ‘Theology of the Body’ teachings given to us by St John Paul II, to give you a deeper understanding of the Catholic Church’s teaching on human sexuality and so enhance your subject knowledge?

As you’ll see, there’s something for everyone in our CPD Package!

What is the CPD Package?

The CPD Package is a new subscription platform providing online CPD sessions and courses running throughout 2023-24.

Is it for schools or individuals?

The Law and DIY Abortions

The phrase ‘DIY abortion’ might conjure up tragic images from times before abortion was legalised; characterised by fear, judgement of ‘unfeeling’ or ‘promiscuous’ women and a lack of understanding or communication about changing attitudes towards sex. A particularly harrowing episode of ‘Call the Midwife’ involving a backstreet abortion springs to mind. Now, more than 50 years on, have things changed?
