Staff meeting starters prompt short discussions to keep everyone up to date on current educational thinking. The discussions will build a shared understanding of good practice and an awareness of school policies and procedures.
Staff meeting starters are uploaded weekly and we send out an email alert to senior leaders to ensure the latest staff meeting starter is not missed!
