A very, very warm welcome this morning to the Head Teachers of St Stephen’s, St Edward’s, St Bernadette’s, Keir Hardie Memorial and Golfhill primary schools. These five schools have been joined with St Bartholomew’s to form a new ‘family group’. The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for Head Teachers and other staff to connect with schools similar to themselves in order to share expertise and ideas and to offer support and challenge. We are delighted to be hosting the very first school visit and hope that our new ‘family’ will have a thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring morning here in St Bart’s!
