What is this?

This is where a cluster of schools within a pyramid or district agree to come together for specific hands on CPD opportunities.

How might it benefit my school / staff?

Subject co-ordinators can network with colleagues from other schools to gain/share their developing skills in a chosen area. Where purchased tutors are recruited the costs are shared between partner schools. The workshops are focussed- allowing for the development of rigorous knowledge, skills and understanding.

Please contact: Mel Harrison, if you are interested in finding out more.
