TARGET GROUP
OBJECTIVES

To experience industry best practise in order to improve both the depth of knowledge in teaching both academic and vocationally based courses at all key stages.

To benefit from current business practices in order to build skills in management and enterprise amongst those responsible for school or college management.

Experience  best practice from business and foster this within an educational environment.

Benefit from a new accreditation scheme that contributes to teachers’ post graduate qualifications that will apply to most PDPS offered through Surrey EBP from February 2005 onwards.


An annual programme of single day group activities.  A calendar of events is available on this web site.

Individual placements for heads, teachers and other staff can be organised but six months notice and flexibility in timing when such an activity can be undertaken by a member of staff is often necessary.


Bookings can sometimes be made for group placements in the week leading up to the event.  However because of their reputation the majority of PDP activities are frequently over subscribed, therefore early booking is recommended.

Attendance at most events requires a £30 deposit, refundable to the teacher at the time of their attendances.
