Message from the Headteacher
On Wednesday, I attended the OAT East Headteachers’ meeting at Stoke High in Ipswich; I see a lot of Ipswich these days. I know I’ve mentioned it before, but these meetings are so valuable for sharing ideas, planning for the future, working out areas where we can collaborate and just as importantly chat about general issues.
