CFLP Leaders
Meeting Date 23/11/2023
During today's Leadership Forum the leaders from across the Children First Learning Partnership took part in many 'getting to know you' activities. We enjoyed spending time with our different families of schools.
Throughout the morning the leaders delivered a presentation around their individual schools. Our CFLP leaders spoke confidently and with passion around the topic 'What Makes Our School Special to Us'. The Knypersley First School leaders chose to talk about the history and organisation of our school and how 'we are just one big family'. We also shared pictures of our amazing facilities including the school swimming pool!
The leaders were awarded their very own Children First Learning Partnership lanyard during the forum!
and an extra special treat too....
A HUGE thank you to the Children First Learning Partnership for a fantastic morning.
