Impact Workshops - 2018/19
All of our open workshops for the coming year
Impact Wales - All our workshops in one place!
We believe in school support that has real impact. We specialise in bespoke support that is tailored to each individual school's needs, but we also offer a handful of open workshops on key development issues each year. These workshops help delegates to understand what is important for their pupils and school and make the right strategic decisions for the greatest impact. All of our workshops are research informed and include practical, straight-forward strategies that have been tried and tested in schools from around Wales.
To find out more about a particular workshop or to reserve your place just drop us a line to enquiries@impact.wales and we'll do the rest.
We look forward to hearing from you!
