Our Academy has received an award for excelling in the field of providing ongoing training to our staff.

Corby Business Academy has been awarded the Bronze CPLD Quality Mark which is the only national, externally assessed, Quality Mark for the provision of continuing professional development in schools.

Before we received the award an inspector from the CPLD Quality Mark Partnership visited the Academy to go through our evidence, interview staff and examine our strategic plan for the future.

Vice Principal Lorraine Smith said: “It’s not common for schools to be awarded this Quality Mark.

“It recognizes the hard work that goes on here to make sure that staff have access to training on a day-to-day basis.

“We’re very pleased to have received the award.”

The inspector also looked at the work of our BAR group and how we share experiences of best practice across the Academy.

Teacher Claire Howsam compiled the Academy’s submission for the award which included providing evidence to show we had met 77 standards.

The award is the equivalent to an Ofsted good ranking.
