Meet our panellists
Each webinar we draw from the knowledge of senior leaders within trusts and schools from across the UK to share their tips, tricks and best practice from their experience. We will host interactive polls, and a Q&A so you can share your thoughts and get the answers you need.
This provides a fantastic opportunity to ask likeminded individuals the questions that have always been on your mind!
