We are delighted to announce that we will be running a series of CPD twilights designed for Foundation, KS1 & KS2. This includes the use of mobile technology to support teaching and learning.
Each twilight will be 2 SESSIONS in length and will take place over 2 Tuesdays or 2 Thursdays, depending on the course. Courses require a commitment to attend both sessions of the course booked.
