Welcome

Welcome to the latest edition of our staff newsletter The Link.

Welcome to a very special edition of our staff newsletter The Link.

It celebrates our results from the first public exams in three years and the remarkable efforts which produced them from our staff and children.

The pandemic tested our resolve. We remain mindful of the personal impact it had for many colleagues and families.

It has also left its mark on children’s learning. There were, across the Trust, incredible initiatives – celebrated in an earlier edition - to provide the best possible education in extreme circumstances.

But many children in our communities were disadvantaged by learning from home and have needed additional support.

It is why this year’s exam results across the primary and

secondary sectors have made me feel particularly proud.

We have all had to dig deep to help our children achieve the best possible outcomes.

The following pages give an idea of the efforts colleagues made to ensure our young people were given the best possible chances in their learning journeys.

To see above national average figures is a tribute to colleagues’ determination and resolve.

Together, we continue to change children’s life chances, giving them opportunities to open doors that would have remained closed without our input.

Congratulations on the results and thank you again for your efforts on behalf of the children.

AAB Chair, Steve Wragg, and his daughter are overjoyed with the amazing grades she achieved.

My first year delivering SATS as a head was apprehensive.

However, the support and challenge from the Trust has been invaluable.

The children were incredible and their attitude to constantly challenge themselves has helped them secure the best ever results for Willows Academy.

We thought it appropriate to publish this photograph (below), taken at The Parks Academy to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.

It is a perfect tribute to her long reign.

The Trust mourned her death with the rest of the nation and sent deepest condolences to the Royal Family.

We pass on our warmest wishes to King Charles III and the Queen Consort. Long live the King.
