Stay connected to the issues that matter as we continue to work with influential organisations, charities and individuals such as Rt Hon David Lammy MP, patron of SSAT’s Deep Social Justice campaign
“SSAT’s Deep Social Justice campaign demonstrated a societal understanding and laid bare a myriad of social injustices for young people, long before the pandemic hit. It was and still is, crucial, in making visible the inequalities and barriers to life that too many children still face. The courage to lead on this and lobby for improvements in equality and equity is typical of SSAT’s commitment to ‘levelling-up’ for all.”
Katrina Morley, CEO, Tees Valley Education
“The Primary Update is excellent at keeping us informed of any important changes that Ofsted and the DfE release. The format is easy to skim through and pick up on the key points that we can then share with our leadership team.”
Lucy Blackmore, Headteacher, Ryders Green Primary School
“There have to be some silver linings from recent challenging times in education and one of these is access to a wide range of passionate educational professionals willing to give their time to share excellent practice beyond their own settings. The regular SSAT webinars cover the topics high on the agendas of those leading and working in schools and provide easily accessible opportunities to connect with like-minded others, learn new things and enhance developments back in our own schools.”
Paula Ayto, Headteacher, Reid Street
“As a member of SSAT, my trust and the schools within it, have been able to make strong links with school nationally as well as share our own practice with others in a variety of ways. This has not only benefited our staff but our pupils as well.”
Danielle Lewis-Egonu, Executive Headteacher, The Galaxy Trust
