New CPD Leadership Event for EAL Leads in Schools & Trusts
Why do previous participants recommend this course?
“Dedicated, directed time to reflect on EAL/EDI in my setting was invaluable. Because of the practical tools and signposting to resources I have received. I think the course covers so many different areas that any school would benefit from, even if it’s just a refresher or reminder and the opportunity to share or talk to other schools.”
