A fantastic opportunity to showcase Delta St. Wilfrid’s to cross-government departments demonstrating the impact of co-location and partnership working between education, youth, justice, health and social care supporting SEND students achieve the very highest outcomes.

It’s nice to see St. Wilfrid’s Academy recognised in the latest published report by the Youth Endowment Fund. The evidence-based recommendations can help prevent children’s involvement in violence. https://t.co/yS2ikt7apS

@NewHead2024 @Headteacherchat Enjoy it, take your time to listen to everyone. Make sure you allow yourself the opportunity to form your own opinions before rushing to make changes. I would make sure you spend as much time as possible during the day in the corridors and in classrooms getting to know the school
