Upcoming Events

Our CPD events are funded by the DfE and as such, are free to attend.

They are intended to be accessed by schools within our hub catchment area but we are often able to welcome schools from any area.

If you are not a school we are working with and would be interested in attending one of our events, please do get in touch by email.

If spaces are available, we will be in contact.

Some sessions have been designed with Early Career Teachers (ECT) or current trainee teachers who are completing their Initial Teacher Training (ITT) however the sessions are open to teachers and support staff of all levels of experience.
