Welcome back colleagues, Happy New Year!
The start of a New Year and the start of a new term. I hope the holiday period was an enjoyable one and you now feel refreshed as the days start to lighten, even if the mornings are still dark.

More work is taking place to understand individual allocations and importantly how these overall figures match up with the pressures and changes in demand that Warwickshire is experiencing. Schools Forum will be receiving further information in due course.

Best wishes
Chris Baird
Interim Assistant Director for Education Services.
