Excellent to welcome Voice 21 Board Chair, Baroness Estelle Morris, to Saltley Academy, one of our oracy Centres of Excellence. Student oracy leads explained its importance academically and personally. She discussed the strategic development of oracy with leadership.

🏫 It was excellent to speak to pupils and the new Headteacher at Tile Cross Academy last week.

🧑‍🏫 It was so good to learn more about the school’s recent positive OFSTED report which is testament to the hard work of both teachers and pupils.

Isle of Wight, class of 2024! What a trip we’ve had 💜

[Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust @WashwoodMAT]

Great to collaborate with @CamAcademyTrust today, as the primary leaders visited the Washwood Heath MAT primary schools. A focus on EDI, oracy and how inner-city schools operate was the order of the day! We are looking forward to the return visit.

[Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust @WashwoodMAT]

Great news for Gossey Lane Academy. Their superb progress, supported by Trust colleagues, is recognised in a glowing monitoring visit letter, published by Ofsted this week. The HMI is recommending an early inspection, which is great news for the academy.
