Introduction from the Joint Directors

Carol Taylor


`It was wonderful to see so many people at a conference to talk about how important the Quality Mark is to their schools; and to hear from such a range of interesting speakers about the ways in which the Quality Mark has taken forward their thinking and delivery.`

Pat Collard


`We were delighted with the response to the Quality Mark Conference in October. Colleagues obviously valued the opportunity to share practice and discuss issues. Our thanks go particularly to our speakers and to colleagues from our partner local authorities whose participation made the day the success it was.`
