Mind-the-gap-show-image

It has been a challenging time for schools, as they begin to reopen. Our school friends we have spoken to have generally been left to design their own systems and procedures. It is safe to say, from our conversations, that there has been dismay in the lack of leadership and advice from central Government.  In the absence of clear leadership from...

And, as we write this, it seems increasingly likely that, during the coming weeks, the government will put in more stringent measures to further curtail movement.

A generous scoop of traditional learning methods, with a sprinkling of online opportunities, mentoring and coaching. Just like a trip to Woolworth’s in the 1990s, blended learning enables your professional development options to become that little bit sweeter. But why does it work? What impact can you expect...
