🌿 “Inclusion means togetherness.”

That was Julian Dutnall’s powerful message at our July gathering — and it’s the principle guiding our next regional event.

✨ Spotlight: Empowering All To Flourish 🎤

Our Event Chair, Emma Wigmore (CEO of The Diocese of Chelmsford Vine Schools Trust), has just delivered a powerful keynote on what it truly means to lead with purpose.

💡 The Power of Culture: 89% of staff say Vine is a great place to work, and 90% of children are happy. Culture starts with us!

👏 A massive thank you to Emma for inspiring us and reminding us that culture, collaboration, and purpose are at the heart of flourishing schools.
