Our hugely popular AI and Data Literacy 4-day courses are kicking off again from September, for their fifth and possibly final year!! (We’re awaiting the decision on our project funding continuing…cross your fingers for us!)
What previous cohorts have said about the course:
- “I’ll struggle to find more enjoyable, worthwhile and welcoming CPD!”
- “To ALL teachers (not just for CS teachers!): This is a really engaging and worthwhile course to attend. I learned a lot – probably the best professional learning course I have been on.”
- “Whether you know anything about data/AI literacy or not, come on this course and you will be amazed! Your mind will be opened to a new way of engaging your pupils across all areas of the curriculum.”
As part of our funding conditions, we have four places reserved for SBC teachers and/or senior leaders (two Primary, two Secondary), so please do take them up or they will be released to other local authorities! This means the course is free to attend (catering included) and we will offer 50% of the cost of getting classroom cover.
The Secondary course dates are:
- Wednesday 16th September 2026
- Thursday 8th October 2026
- Tuesday 3rd November 2026
- Wednesday 2nd December 2026
