New Headteacher Induction and Commissioning Service

New Headteachers (Sept 2025) are invited to join us for the full day. We will share important induction training in the morning, exploring key characteristics of spiritual church school leadership and core knowledge of the SIAMS expectations and Church School distinctiveness.
