Training
We are based in Devon and Somerset, but work all over the South West of England and will travel further afield. We are very happy to offer training and support both face to face or remotely. We generally use MS Teams if working with schools online, though can often adapt to your preferred platform. More central training (like our termly subject leader briefings) is usually offered in person at a choice of venues around Devon, along with online options.
How it works
We work with schools to design training packages to meet specific needs. We’re happy to adapt these programmes or create new bespoke training packages.
Costs are determined on a consultancy basis.

“Thank you for today’s Developing Shared Writing course. I found it extremely useful. It was very well paced, with plenty of opportunities for reflection which I found helpful. I particularly liked the use of ‘real videos’ - they were very refreshing and far more realistic than the ‘polished’ DFE ones.”
