Training Committee

Contact details:thamesvalleyhub@gmail.com

The Lower School (ST1–ST3) and Upper School (ST4–ST7) trainee committees represent trainees on the School Board and Trainee Advisory Committees. They act as a key communication link between the deanery and trainees, disseminating information about events, courses, and training opportunities.

The committees also play an important role in organizing the monthly deanery study days, coordinating social events, and delivering the annual PAFTA awards.
