Secondary Schools and Academies within the SLA are entitled to the equivalent of four half-days per year of adviser time (to include preparation or follow-up). These can be used for visits by our dedicated ODBE secondary schools' adviser or other members of the team. The nature and focus of these visits will be determined with the headteacher at the start of each academic year to tie in with the School Development Plan and current priorities.
