July 3 2025 Meeting focus....

Enhancing cultural inclusion through collaborative, multi-school leadership

A solution-focused sharing, analysis and discussion around ‘what works’ for CEOs and multi-school strategic leaders.

Strategies for culturally addressing disadvantage in multi-school contexts

We are delighted to welcome Marc Rowland to deliver our keynote. Marc is a nationally renowned and sought after leader and author in the field, with a strong reputation for cutting through complexity to drive actionable cultural change across multi-organisation entities.

This keynote and Q&A supports multi-school leaders who are ready to move beyond compliance and towards transformational leadership—where inclusion is not a bolt-on, but the beating heart of culture and trust strategy.

Foster cross-trust collaboration to promote inclusion and high expectations.
Implement evidence-based strategies to tackle educational disadvantage.
Align accountability, governance, and development with vulnerable learners’ needs.
Cultivate collective responsibility and adaptive, relational leadership.
Use impact evaluation and implementation science for lasting improvement.

Marc’s latest book: The A to Z of Addressing Disadvantage

An Inclusion Mindset

Leading cultural alignment across the trust

Embedding consistently deep inclusive thinking across a diverse group of schools

We are delighted to invite Melanie to share insights from her experience leading schools across diverse, varied demographics, examining the challenges, successes and lessons learned in aligning all adults and children to ‘think as one’ in terms of inclusive leadership, teaching and support. Examples of focus areas:

Policy and adaptability
Strengthening resolve in difficult times
Challenging representation and diversity
Upskilling and increasing SEND and inclusion specific knowledge
Building cultural bridges between schools while empowering decision making autonomy

Inclusion Across Borders

Our journey as a multi-LA, multi-phase trust

Experiences and Lessons Learned from collaborating cross-trust, multi-phase and dual Local Authority.

Craig Dcunha will delve into the ups and downs of the Active Learning Trust’s experiences in developing a high quality approach to AP and SEND.

The ALT, like many other trusts spans more than one county and therefore more than one Local Authority, and more than one culture.

This short sharing session will highlight their collaborative efforts, and the impactful strategies implemented – as well as some of the huge challenges faced and approaches to overcoming.

The aim is to provide a ‘tin-opener’ to discussion and further strategic, as well as the ‘nuts and bolts’ needed for trusts to suport each other – and provide agile SEND and AP support.

RISE programme

Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence

The RISE programme in the inclusion context: How to get the best from the new DfE programme

Initiated by the Department for Education, the RISE programme aims to improve schools with consistently poor Ofsted inspections. It involves RISE advisers, who are educational experts in school improvement. Sapientia Education Trust, through its chief executive Jonathan Taylor, supports “stuck” schools in Norfolk and the Eastern region. The programme provides targeted interventions to eligible schools and offers a universal service to share best practices and encourage peer-to-peer support. Its goal is to improve educational standards and outcomes, breaking the link between young people’s backgrounds and their future success.
