Our regular School Breakfast Briefings provide a valuable opportunity for school leaders from all sectors—nursery, primary, secondary, and special—to stay informed and connected.
These sessions offer the latest updates on key activities within the school service, including OFSTED and DfE information, and give leaders a chance to engage directly with local authority officers and colleagues.
The briefings are designed to improve communication, transparency, and information sharing, while fostering networking opportunities.
Each session concludes with a Q&A, encouraging open dialogue and collaboration across the Rochdale education community.
