    Each school term has one half term devoted to inviting some of the most well respected trainers and education leaders from the UK to come and share their wisdom with our staff. In the school year 22/23 alone, we have welcomed Christine Counsell, Andrew Percival, Kate Jones, Christopher Such, Jane Considine and Dan Fitzpatrick. These are just some of the exciting speakers we welcome to talk to our school leaders, teachers and teaching assistants!

This training covers all of the subjects within a school setting.
