Some things can be taught - but the personal qualities of caring for others, empathy and the ability to relate to young children can't be taught in a classroom.

So at Foundations for Learning, we offer our staff support 'on the job' to complement their formal training for professional qualifications:

• A style of supervision and mentoring (at every level) that encourages continuous learning on a daily basis and increases self-knowledge.
• A comprehensive performance appraisal at least once a year
• Motivation for self-improvement, backed by annual individual pay reviews and half-yearly performance-related bonus payments for individuals at head of room level and above.

Every successful employee at Foundations for Learning is on their own personal learning curve, committed to continuous professional development.
