Professional Development Centre

Santon Old School, School Lane, Castletown Road, Santon, hosts in-service education and training programmes for teachers and school governors.

An extensive programme of in-service education and training is provided throughout the year and during the 'in-service days' when schools are closed to pupils.

The in-service programme is developed annually after consultation with the schools. The resultant initiatives reflect the needs of individual staff, the schools, and the overall development of the Department.

The centre also houses a library of teaching resources to support work in a number of curriculum areas including English and mathematics. There are also a range of books and other materials relating to PSHE, dealing with childhood bereavement and developing leadership and management skills.
