CPD for the whole school community
Welcome to Forge CPD, non-profit making organisation. Our vision is to bring together the fractured educational world and strengthen partnerships locally and nationally by providing a central repository of knowledge and content which every partner contributes to, and benefits from. We aim to provide a core offer of high quality, evidence informed, professional development for all members of the school community at every stage of their career. This is just the beginning; content will grow as more partners come on board and new materials are created.
We look forward to working with you in the future to develop your staff to deliver the best possible offer for your pupils.​​ For more information about how to become a member to access all our content, contact us.
Discussing, Reflecting & Responding to The Schools White Paper
(An EfL LearningShared Virtual CPLD & Networking Event)
With the release of the Schools White Paper and further consultation on SEND this virtual event provides a space to reflect on the paper, key reforms / policy change and what they might mean for us as school, Trust and system leaders – more importantly begin to consider how we can turn policy into provision and practice that leads to aspirational opportunities and outcomes for all learners regardless of their needs and starting points.
* Hear from colleagues who have been at the heart of conversations leading to the reforms and look forward to their perspectives and interpretations on key recommendations.
* School and Trust leaders share their thoughts as to what the white paper means for them and how they plan to respond and implement any shift in policy and reform.
* There will be opportunities throughout to connect with other colleagues, ask questions and share your own views.
Panellists include:
James Waller (Sunningdale School & EQUALS, Chair)
Simon Knight (Frank Wise School & DfE SEND & Inclusion EAG)
Margaret Mulholland (ASCL)
Benedict Coffin (DfE, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, National System Division)
Katherine Walsh (River Learning Trust & CST)
Cheryl Gaughan (James Montgomery Academy Trust & EQUALS)
Cathryn Falconer (Danecourt School & Maritime Academy Trust)
Matthew Rooney (St Giles School & Ofsted Inspector)
The new white paper can be found here
This is a unique and very early opportunity to come together to digest what’s are potentially the biggest changes to the education system and policy in a generation.

What the government's updated guidance on mobile phones means for school inspections
We know from our inspections that many of you have already banned mobile phones in your schools, as you recognise that they're a drain on pupils' attention and often highly disruptive to their learning. That's why we welcome the DfE's strengthened guidance.
