How to make bigger savings on powerful, whole school CPD, across every phase
Now’s the time to find really cost-effective ways of getting teachers excited again – about their own careers and the opportunities they create for young people. So this year we’ve made the biggest enhancements ever to SSAT membership.
Join us, share your challenges with other great schools and drive teacher retention with CPD and support for every level of your school community.
In tough times it makes sense to look outwards and see the different solutions other schools are embracing. Our networks keep you sane, purposeful and optimistic!
