I hope that you had a restful break and enjoyed some time away and with family. We come back into a term in which there are two important foci: we need to focus on student progress in achievement and on embedding our school values. The professional development plan sets out the work we will do as staff in supporting academic conversations with students and developing whole school understanding of our values. The Board will be leading a strategic consultation looking to 2024-2027 vision which will continue to develop our current direction.
