Welcome to the Rainbow Education Trust Continuous Professional Development (CPD) website!
At our core, we believe that flourishing adults create flourishing children. This belief is the foundation of our commitment to your professional growth. Our mission, "Flourishing Together as we listen, learn, lead, lift, and love," isn't just a statement; it's the principle that underpins everything we do.
We understand that our staff are our greatest asset, and investing in their development is key to ensuring that each and every child reaches their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Our Commitment to You
We are proud to be an employer of choice, and our professional learning program reflects that ambition. We believe in developing the entire workforce—every role, in every school, and across our shared services team. Our comprehensive CPD offer is designed to support staff at every stage of their career journey.
Whether they're building foundational skills, developing their leadership capacity, or planning for their next step, we want staff to feel empowered and equipped to contribute to our collective success. We're dedicated to building a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and care.
As the Confederation of School Trusts (CST) notes, "Professional development is not an optional extra; it is the engine that drives improvement for children and young people." We couldn't agree more.
For us, professional development is the driving force behind our mission. It's not a luxury; it's a strategic priority.
By working together and embracing continuous learning, we will deliver the very best for our children, their families, and our communities—now and in the future.
