Hi there
We are currently wishing to develop MoE within our school. Could you please forward details of costs for individual training days for staff, coaching & mentoring support, workshops and residential weekends to enable us to choose the best route for our staff.
Many thanks

We are a primary school in Barnsley and were introduced to Mantle of the Expert on a recent CPD course. Please could email prices of courses that you run. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting the website.
Prices for school support vary according to the type of programme you are looking to develop.
As you know Mantle of the Expert is a complex approach and takes time to develop and embed within a school. We recommend a staged approach over two or three years, accessing a range of different training and support. If possible it is more cost effective and sustainable if you network with a cluster of local interested schools.
A one day introduction would cost between £500 – £750 (plus travel & accommodation) for one trainer. If there were more than 30+ delegates then there might be the need for a further trainer.
Coaching/mentoring/demonstration days would be at the daily rate, although could be done in different (more cost effective ways) if done as part of a cluster programme.
Residential training weekends are the most effective training routes for small groups or individuals. The price is £250 per person inclusive. They run from Friday evening until Sunday lunchtime. Details can be found on the website: http://www.creative-corner.co.uk/ringsfieldhall/
