We were delighted to be invited to the Northern Skills Conference, as part of National Apprenticeship Week 2023, which myself and one of our primary Headteachers attended. We met Lord Blunkett, Kim Leadbeater MP and leaders from northern businesses, colleges and universities to talk about the employability skills young people need to be successful in life, and how collaboration across all sectors can nurture, develop and enhance these skills.

A great education is paramount to our young people's future success, and this begins in early years. Investing in our young people from birth and fostering a pathway to lifelong learning aids every young person to lead a happy, healthy, successful and fulfilling life, which enables them to play a positive role in our community and in society as a whole. Early years education provides the fundamental building blocks for learning and assisting young people to be the very best version of themselves each and every day.

Our family of schools ensures all our young people receive a high quality education, coupled with first class care, guidance and support. Our children deserve the best, and our schools are proud of their excellent careers education, which sets our young people up to succeed.
