Director’s Note:
Get your computing leader booked on these. New and experienced leaders are welcome. Show you are supporting them in their leadership journey. It’s 3 sessions for the whole year-get them in the diary now and then nothing interferes with them.
Can’t sing the praises of Sharon and Vikki enough. This also supports Heads/Principals in their 90 minute conversation, ‘How are you supporting your middle leaders?’…well… here’s your answer-‘They’re part of a network of schools across England, led by highly trained providers ensuring they are having professional discussions with colleagues beyond the local area.’
