Minister Estelle Morris MP is coming to Coventry today to talk to Deputy Headteachers in
Coventry. The minister graduated from Warwick University and worked for some years at
Sydney Stringer Community Technology college as a very committed and successful Head of 6th
form.
The Minister will be speaking at the Deputy Heads Conference at the Leofric Hotel,
which has been organised by the Coventry branch of the NAHT (National Association of Head
Teachers).
Coventry NAHT President Jan Nielsonn says; "It’s a chance for Deputy
Headteachers to have a day for their professional development, to network, and to share
experience. Deputy Heads have a very demanding and important role in schools, at a time
when the educational service is facing enormous pressures. I hope the go away from the
conference feeling supported and encouraged."
Estelle Morris MP will open the conference, other speakers include Cathryn Goodwin
– Coventry’s Chief Education Officer, David Hart – General Secretary of the
NAHT, and John Yates – an international management consultant.
Councillor Joe Clifford, Chair of Educational Excellence Policy Team says;
"This conference is a very good idea. Events like this give teachers the support
and encouragement they need to do their jobs to the very best of their ability."
