In June, we proudly celebrated the final day of our Aspire Leadership Programme. This initiative brought together 25 dedicated individuals from across our Trust, all eager to develop and grow as leaders.
The final day of the programme was particularly inspiring, as each delegate presented their change management projects. These projects are already making a significant impact, driving real improvements across our schools. Collaboration has been at the heart of this programme, and we are excited to share these projects to benefit all our schools.
