The Five CPD Sessions

Sustaining Creative Momentum

Small, intentional shifts that help students think more deeply, take creative risks, and move forward with clarity.
We explore language, routines, and micro-structures that strengthen pace, energy, and ownership across a project.

Materials-Led Experimentation: Building Confidence Through Process and Play

Studio-informed, material-led routines that build curiosity, low-stakes exploration, and creative confidence.
Teachers learn simple, purposeful structures that support thinking-in-action and open up new possibilities in the studio.

Refinement & Sketchbook Clarity: Calm Structures for Depth, Quality and Progress

A clear, accessible approach to refinement that removes overwhelm and helps students work with depth.
We look at sequencing, annotation, the SRCC 6Rs, and simple ways to build clarity in sketchbooks and portfolios.

Building Brilliant KS3: Designing Meaningful, Engaging Pathways for Creative Growth

Practical ways to create a KS3 experience that is coherent, contemporary, inclusive, and genuinely creative.
We explore project structures, material practice, progression, and approaches that strengthen engagement and ambition.

Artist References That Matter: Inclusive, Contemporary Approaches for Richer Student Thinking

A fresh way of working with artists: inclusive, diverse, and rooted in contemporary practice.
Teachers explore approaches that deepen enquiry, broaden visual language, and strengthen purposeful annotation.
