Schools & education
Welcome to Croner Training's portfolio of schools management conferences and seminars. We have designed a rolling programme of one-day events for Heads and Deputy Heads covering the essentials of OfSTED, current education law, health and safety, financial and personnel management plus guides to writing SENs and enhancing personal and strategic skills. In addition, the Annual Head's legal guide conference is now in its 7th year and should already have been marked as a vital date in your personal INSET calendar.

| Education law | This seminar examines the key aspects of education law which schools must understand. It explains what is required by law, plus the various best practice requirements outlined in codes of practice and guidance from the Department for Children, Schools and Families. |
| Employment law and good personnel practice in schools | This seminar provides you with an up-to-date briefing on relevant issues in employment law applicable to schools, covering a range of issues from recruitment to dismissal. |
| Handling disciplinary and capability issues effectively | An invaluable day of practical advice and guidance on how to conduct disciplinary and capability issues effectively without falling foul of the law. This one day seminar will help you understand the policies and procedures involved in disciplinary, conduct and capability issues. |
| Health and safety in schools | This intensive one-day seminar will provide delegates with the opportunity to review their present safety systems and assess and introduce new systems in order to raise safety standards. This seminar has been developed for all those responsible for the management of school safety and security in compliance with health and safety policy and best practice. |
| Lesson observation and performance management in schools | A seminar aimed at senior and middle leaders in primary and secondary schools who are responsible for observing lessons on a school or departmental basis. |
| Managing discipline, dismissal and grievances | Given the ever increasing number of Employment Tribunal cases in the UK each year, and with compensation uplifts of up to 25%, getting it right is critically important. This workshop offers practical and informative solutions to common issues with a high degree of personalisation and involvement so you get what you want from the day. |

| OFSTED - getting it right | This one-day seminar will look at the current Ofsted framework for inspections, a radical departure from what has happened before. As inspections are shorter, the amount of notice is shorter – are you prepared? |
| The high performance school leadership team | Heads who have a 'blended' team are under less strain and achieve much, much more for their students. Discover what this term means on this seminar, how you can identify the stage of development of your own team and how you can identify the competences that are essential for effectiveness. |
| Workplace mediation | This practical and participative workshop will equip you to undertake 'pre-emptive conflict management' with confidence in your workplace. |
| Writing an effective SEF | Using information from Ofsted, this course enables schools to complete the professional self-evaluation forms (SEFs) ensuring appropriate evidence and accurate judgments are made. |
