Coventry NAHT President Jan Nielsonn says; "It’s a chance for Deputy Headteachers to have a day for their professional development, to network, and to share experience. Deputy Heads have a very demanding and important role in schools, at a time when the educational service is facing enormous pressures. I hope the go away from the conference feeling supported and encouraged."
