Welcome to AWS’ Professional Learning Community.

At AWS we are committed to professional learning – being the best teachers, teaching support staff and leaders to do the best we can for all our students.

I would like to introduce this professional learning community area of our website as a new way for us to continue to share our expertise and reach outside our own school, into our own community and beyond. We want you to see the amazing things we are doing to develop our professional learning because we are extremely proud of what we do. 

We have a large number of staff who have further professional qualifications from PHDs and Masters qualifications to National Professional Qualifications in leadership. Many of our teachers are members of subject associations and immerse themselves in professional learning through reading and research. We are also proud members of the ‘We Are in Beta’ Curriculum Thinkers programme where our teachers learn and share their expertise with other specialists across the country.

This site will grow as we continue to learn, develop and share with you all. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you enjoy it and it gives you an insight into what we do.
