Message from Phil Leivers - Head of Education Excellence

Dear Colleagues,

On Tuesday night I had the pleasure of attending the Anti-bullying Charter award presentation held at the Molineux. It was great to see so many schools, primary and secondary, taking anti- bullying so seriously. If you haven’t considered applying for the Charter yet, then please have a look. Bullying and Online Safety - Wolverhampton Safeguarding Together

Thank you to all the Early Years settings, schools and PVIs who have returned a signed copy of the Terms and Conditions so that we can ensure you are paid appropriately. If you haven’t returned it yet please do, to Claire Hardiman, it will affect your payment schedule.  EEF agreement.

And to return to the Anti -Bullying theme…

Best wishes,

Phil
