Great to have Lucy Livings, Regional Director for the DFE, visit Emerson’s Green Primary today. We were proud to show her our inclusive and mighty school. It was also great to talk to her about The Leaf Trust and the great work we are doing. @FayeKitchen

Today has been full of learning, laughter and feelings of belonging. I am so grateful to Richard Richards for his inspiring leadership of our Headteacher growth day. I am so lucky to work with such wonderful, values led people.

A brilliant start to the week launching our Literature Festival with a whole trust assembly. Reading a graphic novel story written by one of our pupils from Two Mile Hill was a real privilege.

Estates management has not been my favourite part of my new role but watching this and hearing the feedback from the children and staff has made it all worth it!

[Leaf Trust @trust_leaf]

So pleased that, as a Trust, we can support our schools financially to create the learning spaces which our children deserve. And we love @EG_Primary little celebration video of the work we funded for them over the summer.

[Ross Newman, FCCT @HeadtPrimary]

@gayle_fletcher5 Thanks Gayle. I must come and visit this year!

[Ross Newman, FCCT @HeadtPrimary]

What a great way to start my second year as CEO. Welcoming a new school to our family, seeing the improvements to estates and working with the central team in our new offices. Feeling excited and grateful!
