Annual Conference
We are firm believers in having a strong professional development culture and we are delighted to offer comprehensive, complimentary professional development opportunities to all our teaching staff.
One of the highlights of our CPD year is the BPET annual conference, where we bring together staff across all schools with the aim to inspire, learn, share best practices, and work together on how to best deliver our shared vision.
Employees are invited to take part in workshops about new initiatives, emerging trends in education and across BPET, as well as sharing knowledge and best practices within our family of schools.

This year's annual conference took place on Monday 3 November at the Double Tree Hilton, Docklands and across BPET schools.
This year’s theme - inclusion - shaped the agenda, with sessions designed to deepen understanding, share best practices, and promote inclusive learning environments for all pupils. The day was a great success, with an average of 90% of participants rating our workshops as good or excellent overall. In particular:
