Next year this input will focus on strengthening the sense of belonging in our school communities.
As a service, we are very supportive of TEPs, currently supporting trainees in Years 1, 2 and 3 and have strong links with the London courses. We have EPs working within our Virtual School, Youth Justice Service and Early Years Services.
We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities as we continue to build an EPS team that reflects the diversity of the population we are working with.
