Developing a culturally diverse curriculum
Equality and diversity – from policy to practice
Incorporating as appropriate:
Staff and support staff training sessions

Supporting the work of the EAL Co-ordinator
Advice and Guidance on inclusive practice
Advice on EAL resources

All schools purchasing as part of a cluster contract will qualify for Local authority rates.
In order to ensure that we can plan efficiently for the future needs of schools, we would appreciate the return of the 2012-2013 application form by 22 June 2012.
Each school buying-back as part of a Cluster for the first time and confirming a buy-back option by this date will be offered an audit visit before the end of the summer term.
