The School Effectiveness Team have put together a series of updates for our school leaders called FAST 15. We are adding to these each term as pertinent issues arise. Each of these is a 15 minute recorded session with slides, to summarise and communicate key points and themes on a range of subjects, and are for you to use and share with your staff and leaders as you see fit.
Our FAST 15s are free to access and we will notify you each time a new one is available.
Any feedback or suggestions on topics for a later FAST 15 are always welcomed.
