Weekly newsletter of headteachers.org 🙋🏻‍♂️ 👂 — Issue #8
Good afternoon
I hope that you’ve had a good week. As always, here are the latest updates for you.
The HeadteacherChat Academic Year Planners are now being printed.
If you pre-ordered a planner, we are pleased to say that they are now being printed and we will update you when it’s dispatched. Printing can take up to 3 weeks as there are several processes to go through, but as they are printed in the UK, the delivery times are quick.
Once our delivery comes in, we will have the following planners in stock:
