A Skipton-based teacher training business is staging a series of drop-in events aimed at anyone interested in teaching.

Northern Lights Teaching Schools Alliance, based in Gargrave Road, is holding its first event at Skipton Girls’ High School on Monday.

The event, from 4.30pm to 6pm, will aim to provide information about training to teach and specifically about its own direct programme.

NLTSA is currently expanding its school direct teacher training programme so that Craven schools can take a larger role in training teachers who will eventually be employed locally.
