Don’t just take our word for it! Take a look at some of the incredible feedback we’ve had …
“Our staff at Nant-y-Parc Primary School have attended the National Education Show for the last four years, giving all staff access to high-quality, bilingual, accredited CPD. The strategies gained in behaviour, wellbeing, teaching and learning, and ALN have since been embedded into our whole-school improvement plan.
Following attending the NES, we’ve seen stronger staff wellbeing, more consistent behaviour management and inclusive practice, increased confidence in supporting ALN, and new classroom approaches such as wellbeing check-ins and restorative strategies. Staff now cascade their learning internally, leading follow-up sessions and sharing best practice across the school. NES is now a core part of our annual CPD calendar.“
“We attended the National Education Show in October 2025, enabling staff to access bilingual, accredited CPD. Since then, new strategies in ICT, ALN, wellbeing, and teaching and learning have been embedded into our professional learning programme, boosting staff confidence, improving classroom practice, and strengthening wellbeing support.
We are now considering making NES a key part of our annual CPD calendar to continue developing innovative practice and enhancing our already strong teaching and learning offer.”
