The forum will be for those leading HPL in their school, and will be populated by colleagues from around the world who are all in the same boat, just maybe at different stages in their journey. It should therefore be engaging and relevant, so a go-to place to get opinions and tips for developing best practice in your school. It will also be packed with HPL content and expertise on topics to support HPL leads working towards accreditation. It should also be a safe, supportive and kind place, so no judgements or worries about posting anything that might seem trivial or basic.
