Where we represent you

Members of our Executive Board and phase committees frequently represent Norfolk school leaders on a variety of boards and groups.

Wherever possible, through our newsletters, email questions/surveys, meetings and forums, we endeavour to collect leaders’ thoughts or experiences on specific topics, to ensure we are always representing your current views. Engaging with us means we are able to actively and effectively represent you and help to support the system to develop in the way you would like.

The table below shows some of the many places we are currently representing you.
