Life At Villiers
We are enormously proud of our staff at Villiers High School. They provide our students with exceptional learning opportunities and care passionately about their subjects. They are experts in ensuring students realise their potential and often help them to advance beyond what they thought was possible. All staff are committed to continuous professional learning (C.P.L.) and take part in a bespoke programme run by the school for its teachers. Time from the school day is given to staff every Thursday to plan collaboratively in departments and in clusters and to follow aspects of the CPL programme as we believe this is crucial in helping them get the best from every student.
Every team is a member of its professional subject association, and many staff choose to pursue nationally recognised qualifications such as the suite of National Professional Qualifications which the school is committed to funding. We also provide action research grants to teachers who are interested in research-led practice and have financially supported those carrying out master’s degrees and doctorates. Apart from this, we are members of and sit on committees with the Ealing Learning Partnership working with the borough to target support where it is needed. Some teachers opt to attend training outside of the borough and we carefully select those courses which are of most benefit to our staff ensuring all training and learning is rigorously evaluated.
We run a variety of initial teacher training routes and work closely with a variety of universities in and around London to give trainee teachers first and second placements. We continue to host Teach First participants, many of whom have gained promotion in a relatively short period of time, and we also run the assessment only route with Reading University. We run the Teach West London Early Career Teachers programme for our Early Career Teachers.
