INSET and Retreat days

Retreat days

All school staff are most welcome to come and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Wintershall Estate. We offer time away for school staff to enhance their own mental health and wellbeing, while giving them the opportunity to consider how to nurture the spiritual development of their pupils. We can also offer retreat days for church and community groups, that are tailored to your needs.

Inset training

We offer a range of training sessions for school staff and are able to tailor our training to your needs. Here are some examples of the practical workshops we have run:

Primary RE Coordinators ‘RE in a Creative Curriculum’
Primary NQT training day ‘Creative Storytelling in the classroom’
Cross -phase Headteachers conferences– ‘Breaking Open the Word’
Whole School INSET – ‘Using Bible stories in the classroom’
Whole School INSET – ‘Called by Name’ : What it means to work in a Christian school

Please get in touch to discuss any particular requirements you may have. schools@wintershall.org.uk

Very helpful training day. It brought the scripture to a new deeper level, that I can’t wait to introduce at school.

Primary RE Co-Ordinator

I feel like we have all had a holiday! Something we could never achieve if we were at school for inset.

Primary TA

A beautiful and special place to come with my staff to rest and reflect on the year so far.

Primary Headteacher

Excellent training. Very inspiring with simple but powerful activities that can be used straight away in the classroom.
