This includes an early closure for students every Wednesday to allow for meetings and CPD (including opportunities to regularly visit other schools for newly qualified teachers) and a thriving in-house Lead Practitioner team that coaches and supports staff across the Academy. Through the Chelsea Academy Way for Learning we have a simple, flexible and consistent way of developing outstanding teaching. Most of our senior and middle leaders started as teachers with us and have developed into highly talented practitioners. We offer internal and external training through NPQML & NPQSL - your professional development is important to us. Academy staff have access to a wide range of benefits. These include a private healthcare package, 24 hour GP service, physiotherapy and a confidential well-being support line as well as a laptop and free lunch
