Welcome to the Aimhigher Peninsula Practitioner web site, designed to support Aimhigher practitioners and provide them with the opportunity to learn more about what their colleagues in all 8 strands are up to!

This web site brings together resources previously available on the Regional website (as maintained by Jim Tate), as well as regular updates about ongoing activities in the Peninsula area. In addition, a range of other resources requested by practitioners, such as staff biographies and timetables of upcoming events, have also been incorporated into this web site.
