“We’ve had great feedback from teachers from our most recent CLPL, really positive,” said Eileen Rafferty, 22 February, “Teachers have particularly valued the input from speakers, the opportunity for discussion with colleagues and the advice offered for pupils with Additional Support Needs – so if you haven’t yet attended our CLPL seminars, do come along in March or April or both!” 

The cost for each session is £25 for the first teacher and £15 for any additional participants from the same school. Lunch is provided.
