DAPH Area Meetings via MS Teams

Devon school leaders (CEO's, Executive Headteachers, Headteachers, Heads of School from Academy and Local Authority schools within Devon) are invited to join the next round of virtual meetings (held via Microsoft Teams).

This second round of area meetings will give you the opportunity to share experiences regarding coronavirus and how it's affecting you, your staff team and your wider school community.

As before, we will be inviting suggested items for the agenda to include any questions or issues. It is likely that with government announcements this evening and on Sunday, the focus will divert towards clarity around schools returning to normal business. 

Please submit any items via the online booking form or via email to daph@devon.gov.uk by close of business  Wednesday 13/05/20.

Important: To ensure that this is a well-balanced and focused session we will share an agenda at the start of the meeting. Due to the possible high attendee numbers, the discussion will be hosted and facilitated by a member of the DAPH Executive Committee.


Monday 18 May:

  • 1.30 - 2.30 pm North (hosted by Alun Dobson)

  • 3.30 - 4.30 pm East (hosted by Paul Walker)

Tuesday 19 May:

  • 1.30 - 2.30 pm Central (hosted by Rachel Shaw)

  • 3.30 - 4.30 pm South & West (hosted by Jamie Stone)

Read the guidance How to join a Teams meeting

Important: if you don’t have Teams installed already, we would recommend that you join this meeting using the ‘join on the web instead’ option. Alternatively, you can join via Conference Call (the phone number and conference ID will be confirmed on the Teams invitation).

Please join us - we want to have a better understanding of what's happening 'on the ground' whether you are a small, rural school or part of a large MAT community. You may wish to submit questions for discussion or simply join and listen - no pressure, the choice is yours.
