Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is more than just a box to tick in the busy lives of educators. It is a vital journey that nurtures growth, sparks innovation, and builds confidence. When we think about school professional growth, it acts like a lighthouse guiding us through the ever-changing seas of education. It helps us stay current, adapt to new challenges, and ultimately, provide the best for our learners. In this post, I want to share why CPD is so important in

As the Designated Safeguarding Lead, I hold the responsibility for making sure every child in our care is safe, supported, and protected at all times.

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to FIIT Learning Academy. As Head of Centre, I feel humbled and energised to lead a place that goes far beyond lessons and timetables.

We are thrilled to announce that FIIT Learning Academy has achieved certification to deliver AQA Unit Awards! This significant milestone marks a new chapter in our commitment to providing high-quality education and recognising the achievements of our learners.

In the ever-evolving world of education, staying still is not an option. We, as educators, constantly seek ways to grow, adapt, and refine our skills to better serve our learners. Enhancing our abilities is not just about acquiring new knowledge; it’s about embracing a journey of continuous improvement that uplifts both ourselves and those we teach. This journey is beautifully supported by continuous professional development (CPD) strategies that empower us to meet the divers

Every child deserves a chance to shine brightly, to learn in a way that suits their unique rhythm and style. When it comes to education for unique needs, the UK has made significant strides to ensure that learners who face challenges in traditional settings are supported, nurtured, and empowered. As someone deeply passionate about inclusive education, I want to share insights, practical advice, and encouragement for those involved in shaping the future of these young learners

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often bring incredible energy, creativity, and curiosity to learning. But when environments aren’t built for how they think, those same strengths can be misunderstood as distraction or defiance.

At FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, Croydon, safeguarding isn’t just a policy, it’s a promise. We are committed to creating a learning environment where every young person feels safe, protected, and valued at all times.

We use restorative conversations, simple but powerful dialogues that help young people take responsibility, rebuild trust, and move forward with understanding.

For many of our learners, especially those with SEND or SEMH needs, the difference between giving up and showing up is often one trusted adult who believes in them.

The challenge isn’t a lack of ability; it’s that key building blocks of learning; known as micro-skills have been missed along the way.

At FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, Croydon, technology isn’t a distraction it’s a lifeline.

At FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, we specialise in helping learners who have become disengaged rebuild trust in education, reconnect with their strengths, and rediscover the joy of learning.

We use a Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, where students explore subjects through hands-on projects linked to their own interests, future goals, and the wider world.

At FIIT Learning Academy in Addiscombe, we’ve proven that smaller learning environments don’t just make students feel safer, they help them thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

FIIT Learning is redefining alternative provision through a future-focused model that helps SEND learners thrive academically and personally.
