Primary Course Brochure Secondary Course BrochureLancashire Professional Development Service have been providing high-quality, professional training and development for nearly thirty years. The team offer a comprehensive range of consultancies, courses and conferences which cover the full range of curriculum, teaching and learning, and leadership needs.
Our well established and highly regarded team of Teaching and Learning Consultants design tailor-made professional learning opportunities and consultancy packages for schools, multi-academy trusts, clusters and other settings. LPDS support is readily available across Lancashire, the North West and further afield.
Whilst we have developed our own highly-successful schemes for mathematics, spelling and the wider curriculum, we acknowledge that schools use a range of resources, and therefore our skilled team are able to provide high-quality support for any approach. The primary English and Literacy team have also developed a highly successful systematic, synthetic phonics programme, titled Red Rose Letters and Sounds, for which we can provide bespoke implementation support.
Connect with LPDS
"I always find the English courses really useful. The course leaders are always brilliant. They are friendly, enthusiastic and very informative. They give us all the current knowledge/ advice/ guidance in English so I know when I go I'm well informed and haven't missed the latest publication. The CPD that we can then take back to a staff meeting is great and saves me time! Thank you!"
