Welcome

All places on the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust’s TIPD programme for the 2007-08 academic year have been filled.

iNet (SSAT's international arm) arranges study tours overseas. There are still some places available on these tours.

The SSAT’s programme of provision now covers two main elements:

Short-term study visits – 300 places per annum
A programme for classroom teachers who wish to participate in an international visit, based on a chosen theme. Applicants are not able to choose their destination.

School-determined visits – 500 places per annum
A programme for classroom teachers who wish to visit a partner school abroad, to look at an approved theme.

iNet (SSAT's international arm) also arranges study tours overseas, and TIPD funding may be available to sustain any partnerships set up during a study tour.
