HeadteacherChat Updates

Hello,

I hope that you have all had or are enjoying a good break over half term.?

We've had a few questions on social media asking about the contents of the?school leader planners, and so I thought it would be best to share that with you here.

The school leader planners include the following titles: Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher and School Leader.

All these planners contain the following pages:

• Academic Year, Week to View Double Page spread Diary and calendar
