Not often school in Ipswich gets mentioned in a national speech. Grateful for the recognition of the teachers and leaders across Suffolk and Norfolk who work tirelessly for the students as living in the countryside, brings its own social and educational issues which are not widely recognised.

I haven’t got a template on OneNote other than the line management meeting on there is is structured around 3 headings - To know, to discuss and to decide which are pre-populated before the meeting and then notes added as the meeting develops. Might be of some use?
