2024 Counted for SchoolPro TLC

If you already work with our SWIFT sponsor, SchoolPro TLC, you will already know about their services to schools and Multi Academy Trusts. As experienced teachers and leaders, we like to think that they know what it is like working in education.

Here, the team reflect on the challenges and triumphs of 2024 as a celebration of the endorsement of positive working together.
