The evidence speaks for itself we have a proven track record in our long term middle grades successfully becoming consultants via the CESR process with the full support of the department, they would be happy to talk to you about this informally. There will be a specifically designed training and teaching package for all successful applicants and there will be a designated Consultant supervisor for the duration of the rotation.
