Testimonial
"Being a member of WGEC means we are supported with our global learning across the whole curriculum. Whether we are making a last minute request to borrow resources or booking INSET for a future staff meeting, the WGEC team members are always able to meet our needs or put us in contact with someone else who can. That's real social networking without a flash label and something that makes the team unique."
