Introduction

Learning & Development at Dukes

6

Love of learning is at the heart of everything we do at Dukes.

It’s also one of the four Dukes Values that remind us why we do what we do every day. In our work, we aim to instil that love of learning in our students, but sometimes it’s easy to forget that we need to cultivate it too.

In today’s world, continued learning is no longer an optional extra. People who embrace lifelong learning make more of new opportunities – and their organisations are always a step ahead.

That’s why we think Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has something to offer everyone at Dukes. Learning helps us respond to new ideas and scenarios, but it also empowers everyone we work with – including the young people in our care.

In most cases, our individual Dukes nurseries, schools, and colleges also offer their own learning and development plans.

The Dukes Learning & Development Programme doesn’t replace these. Instead, our family-wide offerings cover a wider range of supplementary training and allow us to learn from others across the business, as well as external experts.

Michelangelo lived well into his eighties. Late in his life he said, “Ancora imparo,” – “I’m still learning”. That spirit of curiosity and humility is what drives the greatest innovators – and it’s one we can all aim to share.

Introduction

Our Learning & Development Framework Whatever your role in the Dukes family, our programmes are designed to help you deepen your skills, gain confidence, and become a more effective professional.

Our Learning & Development Framework encourages this kind of growth in a variety of ways. Our programmes may help you find greater clarity of purpose, or gain insight on how to help your colleagues thrive; alternatively, you might acquire the technical skills to manage finances or lead on Data Protection.

All our programmes are based on four key principles for building success: —

Aspiration & Engagement

—

Self-Awareness & Clarity of Purpose

—

Managing Self & Others

—

Professional Knowledge & Skills

When these principles are developed in an individual – or an organisation – then Extraordinary Performance naturally occurs.

“Since becoming Dukes Primary Maths Champion, it has been exciting and empowering in equal measure. The exciting part has been working to cultivate a friendly, enlightening and constantly evolving collective of mathematical minds within the Dukes community.

Over time we have begun to reap the benefits that being part of such a community provides. It presents us with an immediate outlet and support network for any initiatives members and their colleagues are working to promote. The community has also proven to be extremely forthcoming in sharing useful resources, ideas and thought-provoking reading and research which can benefit the entire Dukes family.

The educational landscape has never been more multi-faceted with a seemingly infinite choice of resources, platforms and apps to harness and utilise. Our growing Dukes community and Dukes Hub give us the power and scope to make the choices which best support the children in our schools to make the greatest progress possible. Together, we really are extraordinary!”

Donal O’Sullivan, Prospect House School – Primary Maths Champion

“The thing that I have really appreciated from my role as subject champion is that I have been able to reach out to other teachers to learn of their experiences in teaching and where possible to give advice based on my professional experience as a photographer and from my teaching experience at RIC. It was great to invite the other Dukes photography teachers for a CPD at RIC and to meet in real life and not just across a video link, a much more enjoyable and bonding experience! Caroline from Earlscliffe has been to visit a couple of times to look at work and has also brought some of her students to use our darkroom facilities.

We have created a Hub for Photography on so that we can share teaching materials and also to show best practice and examples of our students’ work for inspiration. I look forward to visiting the other schools in the near future.”
