Welcome

Welcome to Education Connect, the professional development division of The Challenge Academy Trust. Our mission is to actively engage with the wider educational community by offering expert CPD (Continuing Professional Development) at exceptional value.

In our pursuit of excellence, we have leveraged the collective power of our 12 academies to establish a trust-wide CPD program. Our highly talented and experienced staff regularly collaborate, share best practices, and invite experts from across the country to deliver sessions. By identifying key areas for development, we have coordinated a shared approach to securing key speakers, facilitators, and specialists, while also pooling resources, costs, and time.

Driven by a culture of continuous growth and a dedication to improvement, our staff body is fully engaged and hungry for CPD opportunities. Our colleagues are passionate about empowering themselves and others to deliver excellent teaching, enabling superb outcomes for young people.
