A real honour for @endeavourlt to be shortlisted for three TES Awards. Delighted to be nominated in the most inclusive trust of the year and the trust of the year (ten schools or more) categories. Best of luck to Mrs. Payne in the HT of the year category! lep.co.uk/education/lancashi…

And perhaps, for leaders, a gentle invitation to be open, to stay human, and to create cultures where vulnerability helps others feel safe.

A real privilege to join colleagues and children at Woodlea Junior School to celebrate their first official day as part of @endeavourlt
The highlight of the morning was, without doubt, hearing the children come together and sing during their assembly. Always an absolute joy! 🎶

Thank you to @SchoolsWeek for creating the space to share our learning from how we tried to support our community to find the light in desperately dark circumstances.
It was an important opportunity to reflect on the response of our team. I’m grateful to and proud of them all.
