The Tracker

Please could beginning teachers and mentors remember to review some parts of the Tracker at this week’s Weekly Review Meeting. It is not practical to review the entire document each week, but those parts that relate to the FIA and other targets should be reviewed.

Review Statement 4

This will be released on Wednesday 10 June in preparation for the following two weeks (Weeks 11 and 12). This means that Week 10 will be the last week in which the usual Weekly Review meeting agenda is followed. Further details will be released nearer the time.
