I think the general theme running through Week 6 has been COMMUNITY. Today’s Love Luton RunFest again displayed all that is best about Luton. Well done to so many educators from within our Trust and from across the town for taking part & fundraising. Of course, well done to the many students too that ran! Friday saw the #REND Racial Equity Network move to Leeds & some of our senior staff were proud to represent us there. The new Network for Education Excellence (nEdEx) group was launched in Milton Keynes & Adrian Rogers was proud to be one of the keynote speakers at the launch. We also attended the MAT Strategy Forum conference in Cheshire & collaborations took place with some excellent trusts. Lots of our schools held excellent Open Evenings for either new or existing parents! The feedback on these has been overwhelmingly positive. Also over the last two weeks, our CPD, Teaching & Learning & Standards leads have attended some great sessions to take back to their schools. Also, it’s been the CEO & Heads round table this week for all our schools 👍Another wonderful week!

It was wonderful to see the #REND movement go to Leeds last night. Huge congratulations to Shaheen Myers for organising such a fantastic event in an enchanting venue. The two young speakers were brilliant, reflective & passionate. Such powerful messages. We were so proud to attend & Sufian Sadiq was delighted to see his ‘baby’ reach Yorkshire. We were just so sad that Stephen Fox 🦊 couldn’t be there, he was so looking forward to this event. A joy to be with some of the kindest people in education.
