Tier 3 School Priority Briefings

It is vital that all active professional mentors and subject mentors attend one of our school briefing meetings. To facilitate this we host six repeat sessions on-line over a two-week period in September/early October, January/February and March/April annually. Please note that school briefings include a subject update. Professional mentors can attend any briefing on any day. Subject mentors must attend on a day when their subject is listed.
