Our Inset Offer

If you decide you'd like to do something on a larger scale for your staff, we can offer you a bespoke Inset session.  

We've all been for Inset, or on a course, which was amazing at the time...but honestly made no impact on our practice, the school, or the pupils. That's why, when we design our Inset content, we do so in close consultation with school staff - from Teaching Assistants, to ECTs, experienced staff and Curriculum Leads, through to SLT. We take into account the unique complexities of your context to make sure that our training makes a difference - not just for a day, but for the long term.

As experienced teachers ourselves, we know the importance of having space during the day to embed learning into plans - for the day, week, and term ahead. We not only provide research, information, and national guidance around mental health and wellbeing in schools, we also provide the practical links between the theory and the classroom. Ultimately, any knowledge needs to be applicable and embedded in the day to day interactions that happen in the classrooms and throughout the school.

1 Day - £995

Half Day - £625

1 Hour - £275

*Costs for travel and accommodation will apply.
