It's February, it's Cornwall.

In Cornwall today (4th) for a one hour presentation on current issues to 50 Members of the Branch, plus a further twenty minutes at the Annual Dinner in the evening.
The Bedruthan Hotel just north of Newquay, is one of the best in the Country. Not for acres of marble, but for it's position overlooking the Atlantic Coast, and in particular the superb Reception where you are treated as a welcomed individual. The Staff here could train far more prestigious establishments on real engagement with hotel guests.
Key concerns today include pensions, doubtful future of LA services, the outcome of the Bew Inquiry into KS2 SATs, and information on the academy status.
Ian Bruce, Cornwall Branch Secretary, and SW National Executive Member, is properly thanked for his work for Members in the County, as is Steve Cleverley, Regional Officer, for high quality support for Members when the clouds seem dark.
The NAHT's Regional Officers are well respected for their work throughout each of their patches. They are a lifeline for hard-pressed colleagues.
