We are pleased to announce that we will be holding an event to help bridge the gap between responsible local Worcestershire educational suppliers and schools.
Following on from the continued success of seminars and courses hosted by Coomber, we have listened to the many requests to provide a series of open days to enable teachers, bursars and heads to call in at times that suit you to meet and learn from authorised and passionate local suppliers.
We have pooled our resources to offer you best value and free advice to ensure that our local schools can obtain the services they need at an excellent value and from suppliers they can trust. We are here to support you so please call in and ask how we can help you.
- Do you know what services are on your door step?
- Do you know who to ask for advice on wide range of topics?
- Would you like access to national learning concepts and a share in a wealth of experience?
- Would you like to get free local advice and recommendations from your colleagues?
- Would your school benefit from free audits and assessments of any of your services such as audio in your hall to your IT infrastructure and printing and photocopying, or just some practical help with handwriting?
