Dear Heads of School, DMEs and MEMs in London/KSS
We are writing about the launch of the 2027 London and KSS TPD Development Programme.
All TPDs have been sent calendar invites for each session and we would be grateful if you could help ensure that TPDs in your school/trust are aware of the programme and have the joining details for the sessions in which they are interested.
All sessions are delivered virtually, and we are able to offer the sessions to others aside from TPDs. If you are aware of any aspiring TPDs who would benefit from attending, please forward the below Microsoft Teams links to them; you are also welcome to sign up. We particularly encourage newer TPDs to either attend sessions or watch the recordings to support their induction.
