Western Secondary Deputy Headteacher Meeting
Last week, Dale attended the Western Secondary Deputy Headteacher Meeting. The honest and open conversation was appreciated and helpful. It was particularly useful to talk through the barriers, challenges and the mitigations that we can put in place to maximise secondary engagement and participation through the rest of this academic year.
It was agreed by all present that the key secondary leads are included on the WOW distribution list. Therefore please email WELL@Cumberland.gov.uk if there are colleagues to be added to our distribution List.
