Staff success stories

Wayne Powell, E-ACT’s Senior Site Facilitator at the Walsall academies, took up a BSc in Facilities Management at Bolton University and a Level 6 apprenticeship alongside his full time job. His studies will take three and a half years in total.

“It’s a really supportive organisation and I feel that you can always turn to someone for help. I also really like that E-ACT is committed to investing in the development of employees, which is already hugely benefiting me.”

Helen Rees – deputy headteacher at E-ACT Hareclive Academy – received the ‘team spirit’ award at E-ACT’s National Pupil Celebration Event in July 2022 for her fantastic work as acting headteacher.
