Working in school transport means handling more personal information than most people realise. Route sheets with home addresses. Medical and SEND details shared to keep pupils safe. Conversations with parents and school staff that carry information about real children and real families. All of this matters — and all of it is covered by data protection law. Keep It Safe is a 15–20 minute on-demand CPD course designed specifically for school transport drivers, escorts, supervisors, and support staff. Using plain language, practical examples, and everyday transport scenarios, it gives staff a clear and accessible introduction to GDPR and what it means for their specific role. This course does not assume any prior knowledge of data protection. It is written for people who want to understand what their responsibilities are, feel confident in their day-to-day practice, and know what to do if something goes wrong.   What the course covers

• What GDPR is and why it applies to transport staff as well as office-based colleagues
• What counts as personal data in a transport context — including information that might not seem obvious
• The concept of special category data, including medical information, SEND details, and mental health information, and why it requires extra care
• Confidentiality on the route — conversations in the vehicle, handling paperwork, communicating with parents, and the use of photos and social media
• What a data breach looks like in a transport setting, and why prompt reporting matters
• Practical habits for protecting personal data as part of everyday working practice

  Who it is for This course is aimed at anyone working in a school transport role who comes into contact with information about pupils, families, or colleagues. This includes school transport drivers, passenger assistants, escorts, minibus supervisors, and transport coordinators. It is suitable for both employed and contracted staff, and for those new to the role as well as more experienced staff refreshing their knowledge.

Everything your exam staff need — in one place. This bundle brings together two essential courses for anyone involved in administering exams in an educational setting. Whether you're preparing for written examinations, oral assessments, or both, this package gives your team the knowledge and confidence to fulfil their role with professionalism and compliance. Certificate in Invigilating Exams covers the full written exam process — from understanding JCQ guidelines and setting up the examination environment, through to managing irregularities and completing post-exam procedures. Updated for 2025/2026, it ensures your staff are current with the latest regulatory changes. Facilitating Oral Examinations: A Guide for Invigilators and Exam Staff addresses the distinct demands of oral assessments, which are often overlooked in standard invigilator training. It guides staff through the specific requirements of oral exams, supporting nervous candidates, managing access arrangements, and knowing what to do when things don't go to plan. Together, these courses provide comprehensive, regulation-informed training across both assessment formats — ideal for schools and colleges looking to upskill their entire exams team ahead of assessment season. 12 modules | Two certificates on completion | Self-paced, on-demand learning

Oral examinations carry their own distinct requirements — and yet the staff facilitating them don't always receive the same level of preparation as those working in written exam rooms. This practical, accessible course is designed to change that. Across six short videos, this course equips invigilators and exam staff with everything they need to facilitate oral assessments with confidence, compliance, and care. From understanding the specific demands of the oral exam format to navigating JCQ guidelines, setting up the right environment, supporting nervous candidates, managing access arrangements, and handling the unexpected — this course covers the full picture of the invigilator's role, from preparation through to post-exam responsibilities. Whether you're new to oral examinations or looking to refresh your practice ahead of an upcoming assessment season, this course offers clear, regulation-informed guidance grounded in real-world scenarios.

Whether you're running booster sessions, leading intervention groups, or looking for fresh strategies to reignite student progress, this course gives you targeted, high-impact tools you can use straight away.  Across six short videos, we explore how GCSE English Language and Literature are structured and where marks are really won and lost, how to diagnose individual gaps quickly, and how to shift the mindset of students who feel it's already too late. We cover the language techniques and exam skills that make the biggest difference under time pressure, from mastering assessment objectives to structuring strong responses on both papers. We also look at practical approaches for motivating disengaged learners, supporting students with SEND, and giving families meaningful ways to help at home.  Because with the right focus and the right strategies, progress is always still possible.

Pupils with PMLD access the world around by using their senses. As a result, we then need to teach them using a sensory curriculum. They need to engage in hands on experiences. Touch is one area of a sensory curriculum. Through this course, Sarah will share information about touch. We can learn so much by using our sense of touch. However, some of our pupils may be inhibited by physical limitations, cognitive levels or sensory impairment. Tactile defensiveness may be physiological or psychological.
