Further Information
Each school is initially allocated two spaces, to ensure that as many schools as possible who wish to attend the training are able to. Once bookings have closed, any remaining spaces will be allocated to those on the waiting list. If we are unable to offer a school an additional place(s), they will have the option to change which members of staff attend the training.
