We offer bespoke training and consultation options for schools, tailored closely to your needs. If you want a more personalised package than our centralised training options, this is the option for you.

See our dedicated page to learn more and read some testimonials!

Here's a flavour of what we can cover:

• Work with leaders in primary, secondary, special and schools with specialist support centres
• INSET days (early booking is recommended for popular dates)
• Staff meetings
• Governor training in relation to SEND and inclusion
• Class teacher training
• Support staff training
• School improvement consultancy for SEND and inclusion
• Consultancy for action planning for SEND and inclusion
• Bespoke support for new to role SENCos
• And loads more - just ask!

See the training section of West Sussex Services for Schools for what we already deliver centrally. We can offer all of our listed central training courses to whole school teams on site, but can also create bespoke packages to meet your contextual areas of need.

We're very happy to deliver virtual sessions to whole-school teams if you prefer to work in this way, though also enjoy the face to face interaction that on-site delivery facilitates.
