Trust Ambition webinar: How can trusts balance autonomy vs alignment?
Join this free webinar at 4.30pm on Thursday 18 April at 4:30pm
Autonomy vs Alignment?This free webinar aims to re-frame the discussion for trusts around autonomy and alignment. How can trusts ensure their approach works for all their schools, families and the children they teach? And how can we help them to make the best decisions around whether or how to deliver integrated practice across their trust? |
