Our most valuable resource at Bushey Meads is without a doubt our outstanding staff: teachers, learning assistants and all our dedicated and talented Associate Staff. On Monday and Tuesday of this week our now annual two day Staff Conference took place and provided an excellent opportunity to invest in our staff and also give them time to collaborate, share great ideas and make plans to either enhance their own pedagogy and the craft of teaching, or effectively develop their support for all the students who are privileged enough to attend Bushey Meads School.

The conference started with an inspiring keynote speech by educational guru Mark Burns, with time afterwards to reflect and remember all the outstanding investments we have made recently to support staff wellbeing. Time was given for faculty planning and enhancing our provision for literacy across the school, as well as a chance to reflect and enhance our online and physical resources within the Learning Resource Centre at BMS.

On Day 2 we received training on how to further improve and embed our positive behaviour for learning culture, we continued to share best practice and spent time developing our all important curriculum journeys across the key stages.
