We at Best Practice Network share the belief that every child, regardless of their background, should benefit from an excellent education. To achieve that, we support and train educational professionals to be the best they can be, enabling them to transform the lives of children and young people.
We are a friendly, DfE-accredited, Ofsted-outstanding training company providing apprenticeships, professional development, and the DfE's 'Golden Thread' (trainee teachers to school Executive Leaders). We are adaptable, collaborative, and genuinely value our work supporting the education sector, as much as our trainees do.
