Commentary Schedule 13: The Training and Development Agency for Schools Section 95: Power of maintained schools to provide training for the school workforce
175.This section replaces section 12 of the 1994 Act. It allows the governing bodies of maintained schools to provide training for members of the school workforce in addition to the power they already have to provide training for teachers. This provision enables schools to provide training in the nature of, for example, school-centred initial teacher training, which they provide either on their own or in partnership with other schools and training providers.
