Staff training - January 2024

I don’t know where you get your tutors but your recruitment process must be very good. They are fantastic – all very different but all very engaging. They are very different to the tutors D has had in the past.

It has been a great journey so far. I have really enjoyed learning valuable new skills and adapting my current practice while being so well supported by the wonderful staff at Lapwing. I feel privileged to work amongst a fantastic group of like-minded people who stand by one another.
I am seeing, first hand, how Lapwing benefits students in so many ways - it’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of it all.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity and I look forward to developing my skills further within Lapwing in the future.

I just wanted to say thank you for the huge amount of support I’ve received. I think Lapwing is amazing in how they support staff... I’ve never worked anywhere quite like it! Just wanted to express my appreciation.
