All our short courses can be run in-school for multiple members of staff and tailored to your school’s particular needs.  This can be a very effective way of bringing about change across the school and ensuring all staff sign-up.  Our school-based training:

• will be appropriate to your school’s needs
• provides training to as many staff as will benefit
• offers excellent value for money
• is a particularly effective way of ensuring a whole school approach
