CPD Courses

This is a joint programme with our colleagues in central Knowsley and delivered by Literacy Counts.

In terms of the CPD for this summer term we wanted to support staff with the preparation for September after this turbulent year.

There are four summer term events – three are remote and one aims to be face to face.

These events are focussed on teachers and TAs in Year R, 1, 2, 6 and English coordinators to prepare for the year ahead.

This is a really exciting opportunity for Kirkby and Central colleagues to work together and get one step ahead for the forthcoming year.
