On Monday 3rd November, staff from across our trust gathered at Goosedale in Nottingham for our Annual Conference. The day brought everyone together with a shared purpose: to refocus on what matters most – the children in our schools.

Throughout the day, we heard from three inspiring speakers, Anthony Benedict, Olly Dean, and Carrie Grant, who each brought thought-provoking insight and encouragement. Their sessions helped us to reflect on how we can continue to support our pupils with compassion, understanding, and a trauma-aware approach to behaviour.

The conference also gave us the chance to celebrate the incredible work happening in our schools as we announced this year’s award winners. It was wonderful to recognise and applaud the individuals and teams who go above and beyond to make a difference every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the day such a success. It was filled with learning, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to helping every child thrive.
