Partnership has got what IT takes

It’s a time of great celebration for the ATLP – with schools enjoying a bumper crop of results this year. There’s cause for further cheer, as more and more children are joining the partnership’s academies, following the MAT’s continued achievements and growth. With its best ever figure of 88 per cent A*-C in GCSE results, Arthur Terry School has not only boosted its ‘gold standard’ grades by a whopping 11 per cent, but it has also secured a place as the country’s 15th top state comprehensive, according to The Independent Newspaper. Headteacher, Neil Warner, said: “We would like to thank our amazing staff body, students, parents and governors for excellent partnership working which has enabled us to report such an amazing performance.”

All of the ATLP schools have benefited from improved GCSE grades this year. Marie George, headteacher of Stockland Green School, said: “These results are a testimony to the hard work of our school community.” The picture is equally bright for A-levels, with students scooping impressive and record-breaking results. Coleshill headteacher, Ian Smith-Childs, said: “There was an immense sense of pride in the exam hall as students opened their envelopes to see all of their efforts rewarded.” Congratulations to John Willmott School, which is also celebrating some well-deserved results. The ATLP is school improvement partner to the popular secondary.

headteachers you could meet; professionals who work tirelessly for the young people and families within their care and who are committed to ensuring that all of our young people are given the very best life chances.” Richard is also the newly elected Teaching Schools Council member for the West Midlands. He also represents Sutton Coldfield on the management board of the Birmingham Education Partnership (BEP). He has taken over from former interim CEO, Sally Taylor, whose exceptional leadership skills impacted positively across the ATLP and ensured that the partnership is in “great shape.” Sally said: “It’s been a real honour and a privilege to be part of this wonderful team and I know that Richard will continue to serve and lead the partnership onto even greater success.”

Tim Sewell, chair of the ATLP Trust Board, said: “Richard has made a significant contribution to the development of our partnership over the past six years and he stands out as a dynamic leader who will move us forward.”
