This digital induction handbook for new headteachers is designed to provide key information to help you transition into your new role within Waltham Forest.

The sections of this website provide you with information on Our Council Structure, includes links to School Services, Traded Services and other useful resources such as checklists, a map of the borough schools,  key contacts and key dates.

Details of your mentor and support available will be shared at the online welcome meeting in September.

In Waltham Forest, we are very proud of our schools as they continue to improve and provide rich learning experiences for all our children and young people. There is outstanding leadership, learning, and teaching in a significant number of our schools and we aspire to support each school in being Ofsted Good or better.
