CPDF Plan for TAs
2021-2022
“Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.”
Proverbs 9:9
1
Dear TAs,
Thank you for the amazing work you have completed, supporting your school communities
through a challenging year. It has been an honour to provide CPDF (Continuous Professional
Development and Formation) for you and your colleagues throughout this past year and to
work alongside you.
We have listened to your feedback about what you’d like next year, taken on board Ofsted
requirements and studied the research on the best CPDF and how it is delivered.
A big focus for Ofsted is how school leaders are supporting staff with high quality Continuous
Professional Development. I will attend all sessions, they will have up to date, relevant CPDF
and an option to network and learn from others.
For the first time, the Catholic Primary Partnership is providing CPDF focused solely on the
needs of TAs. You are welcome at any session (not just those within this document).
Please check with staff member responsible for CPDF before you book.
After nine months with me as Director, I hope you can see that the Catholic Primary
Partnership is evolving, building on previous strengths and moving forward to meet your
needs. Let us know how we are doing and what you need next. We are YOUR Catholic
Primary Partnership.
Kind regards
Julie-Anne Tallon
Director

As the Catholic Primary Partnership enters a new chapter, under new leadership, it was
essential to revisit the vision and mission of the organisation. The partnership was set up by
Catholic headteachers, to support and serve Catholic headteachers. Our vision is to ‘S.E.E’.
We are committed to being a Catholic organisation moulded by the example of Christ, we
are committed to servant leadership. We strive to provide excellent CPDF, to ensure all
stakeholders are given every opportunity to become the person God has called them to be.
We want to constantly evolve, nurturing a culture of constant review, evaluation and planning
for next steps to review what we’ve done and build upon strengths to offer our schools the
very best.

Loving God,
We asked for strength, and you gave us difficulties to
make us strong.
We asked for wisdom, and you gave us problems to
solve.
We asked for prosperity, and you gave us purpose
and brains to use.
We asked for courage, and you gave us fears to
overcome.
We asked for patience, and you gave us situations
where we were forced to wait.
We asked for love, and you gave us troubled people
to help.
We asked for justice, and you called us to be just and
lead with integrity.
Lord, we have received nothing that we asked for or
wanted.
And yet, we receive everything that we needed.
For this we give thanks.
