In response to feedback from Headteachers in the Autumn term we have scheduled a number of opportunities for headteachers in Mansfield and Ashfield to access. The visits have been organised by Paul Stone the Primary leader for this project and focus on helping schools to experience different practice from schools with similar contextual challenges. We recognise the value in learning from the experiences of others and know that headteachers will gain a lot from visiting other settings.
Each visit will have the capacity to host 10 headteachers and your school will receive £200 towards supply costs and £100 towards travel costs for attending the visit. School visits will last for a full day and there will be an expectation that headteachers also join a further meeting within a month of the visit to review the impact of this work and discuss any joint practice opportunities that have arisen.
More information about the visit dates and locations can be found below:
21st March 2022 at Djanogly Sherwood Academy
22nd March 2022 at The Carlton Infant & Junior Academy
25th March 2022 at Mowmacre Hill Primary School
– 29th March 2022 at Leamington Primary Academy
Please see the details below for further information on the school and focus area for the visit.
