Hi all,

Just a quick reminder that Draft 1 of your DIP is due on 22/10/26. I hope the guidance documents have been useful as you work through the process. Your leadership link should also be supporting you with the completion of this document.

We will review your draft, provide feedback, and give you time to make any refinements before the final submission deadline of 16/11/26.

Angela Kent has very kindly offered to meet with you individually and facilitate a group session on your DIP and departmental self-evaluation. She is meeting with me today to finalise arrangements.

If there is any additional support you would find helpful through our Middle Leader CPD meeting or in addition to, please do let me know.

Have a lovely day!
