As an experienced teacher, Dominique suggests these sessions are booked according to stages as the content of discussion would vary slightly. If the school gains positive feedback and would be interested in securing workshop sessions (currently in development) this can be organised. These sessions are ideal for Book Week, Education Week or special events within schools.
