Leading Change Issue 27 – Spring 2025

Welcome to the 27th edition of Leading Change.

We are delighted to share some of the projects supported by last year’s Leading Edge Innovation Grants. They offer an insight into some of the creative and interesting work going on across the network.

We hope that you enjoy reading them as much as we have. Don’t miss the opportunity to apply for an innovation grant for your school this year. Applications open in the summer term each year and as you will see here, we support a wide range of projects. We would love to hear more about what you have planned.
