Since forming in 2012, the Teacher Development Trust has visited hundreds of schools around the country to review their CPD practices. One of the areas where we see the most variation between schools is career development.

Providing attractive and developmental career opportunities is one of the key ways in which the most effective schools are able to aid succession planning and regulate staff turnover. Here are our top tips for becoming a career-savvy school.
