Our @IPAT_Edu 2025/26 CPD learning offer is now live. We have some great sessions planned for teachers & leaders everywhere. We remain committed to transforming children’s lives through partnership & collaboration and would love you to join us next year…simplebooklet.com/inspireprofess…

Great to spend time learning alongside leaders today. We’ve been reflecting on our ‘Community First’ work with the Reach Foundation, exploring how we deepen thinking, our leadership framework, EYFS transition and our digital strategy. We are stronger when we hike in teams.

From social stories to sensory circuits, our Inlcusion Lead, Michael Harris, had a wealth of options for supporting pupils with complex needs at his session. One key takeaway was on using visual aids. Follow on Eventbrite to join next time. eventbrite.com/o/inspire-part… @carpenter_rob

Nourishing to spend time together today as leaders across our Trust reflecting on the importance of place based leadership. Building locality led community directories and considering how we can deepen our existing relationships #CommunityFirst

This is what great practice looks like: barriers removed, excellence shared, and professionals learning from one another. Collaboration is one of the most powerful forms of CPD. #TogetherWeCan
