Director’s Note:
You know what you’re getting with Bogusia. She’ll expose your History and Geography leaders to how to be the very best. This will have an inspection focus but is also the basics of excellent subject leadership, whether you are awaiting an inspection or not. Send both your Geography AND History leaders, then they can support each other moving forward.
