School Handbook

Whether you are an officer of the Council or a senior manger in a school I hope this 'School Handbook' continues to be useful to you.

As a resource it is intended to be of practical assistance in securing support and assistance when needed and to allow for direct contact and therefore reduce the bureaucratic burden.

We would like to keep this resource updated on a termly basis so any improvements or suggestions are welcome. Please use the contact us information and ask for our Administrative Officer - Mike Deeley from the Commissioning department for further information.
