In Wales CPD is no problem; in fact it is actively encouraged by the
Welsh  Assembly Government through a system of bursaries from the
General  Teaching Council for Wales, for individuals and
networks/groups.  I  applied for and got individual busaries on three
separate occasions in the  five years or so before I retired, mostly
covering supply, but course fees  are also possible.  I assume that
Scotland has similar arrangements?    Regards    Jean          It cannot
just be an Indie school thing ... can it??  > We have about 350 pupils
