Planning INSET Days? Here’s the Staff Training Your School Can’t Afford to Miss.

INSET days are a golden opportunity. With pupils off-site, these dedicated days allow staff to focus on development without interruption. While curriculum planning and admin often take priority, it’s also the ideal time to invest in life-saving first aid training—something every school community depends on.

At BSS Training, we understand the unique rhythm and needs of primary schools. That’s why we work closely with education leaders to deliver fully accredited, on-site training that fits seamlessly into your calendar—and delivers lasting impact.
