
Hear from an employer about the need for digital skills in the Leeds City Region economy

Explore ideas for using your entitlement of a further 8 hours of CPD relating digital skills, to be used before summer term ends: we’ll explain how your school can claim up to £300 for the costs of your supply cover, should you wish to take these 8 hours as a full day out of the classroom.
