On-demand CPD

NACE on-demand CPD


In response to feedback, we have worked with Nucleus Learning to ensure our latest on-demand course ‘Creating Cognitively Challenging Classrooms’ offers greater flexibility in how it can be used. By adapting the functionality to enable individual logins to feed through to a central lead, individuals can engage with the CPD modules at their convenience but ensure that responses can be monitored by the school lead.

Our other on-demand courses support leading on more able in school (secondary or primary focus), specific modules for Teaching Assistants and support for Early Career Teachers. There is a member discount available on all of our on-demand CPD – take a look here.
KS5 Network Group

KS5 Network Group


Due to the success of our first KS5 Network Group, we have decided to extend this group to non-members as we do with our More Able Leads and EYFS Network Groups. However, these meetings will continue to be free this academic year for members. Future meetings will be led by NACE Associate Neil Jones.

Our next meeting is on 29 February 2024 to avoid all national Half Term holidays – please register here.
