inspiring futures through learning

A message from Sarah Bennett, IFtL CEO I know every CEO is proud of their Trust, their schools, the staff and the pupils within it…..and I am no exception. I know every CEO feels their Trust is unique, that their USP is different from every other; and they have a WOW factor that exceeds all. I am absolutely no exception to that either! I am personally so proud of the journey we have travelled and what we have achieved to date - created by people with a genuine desire: ‘To inspire the futures of us all through learning together’ We formed Inspiring Futures through Learning (IFtL) in 2016 as a natural extension of our school improvement journey. Indeed, for over twenty years our founding school, Two Mile Ash School had worked with very secure, high-quality partners in their ITT School-Based Partnership, supporting newly formed Trusts in turning schools in difficulty around and created our CPD programme to support the development of leadership and continual professional development both locally and nationally. There was a very strong track record of school improvement led by high performing leaders who shared a common vision. Developing a Multi-Academy Trust with like-minded schools and their leaders meant that our vision could circulate further, ensure the impact of our work reached out to more children and more staff benefited from high-quality development and learning from each other. Since 2016 we have achieved great success. We can quantify our success in Ofsted reports, performance data, financial spreadsheets and our recruitment and retention figures. However, most importantly to note is that we can only achieve such success because of our culture and ethos. It is our more qualitative success that makes IFtL truly unique. We are a strong family, with different personalities and differing abilities but we have the golden thread that pulls us together - a belief that we are stronger together; that we will go that extra mile for each other and support each other when things aren’t going the way we want them to. The camaraderie is second to none as our school improvement system is strongly embedded in our schools as we use the skills and expertise to support each other. There is nothing new about a self-sustaining school improvement system – but the way we do it is unique to us and something that we are extremely proud of. Indeed, IFtL is all about the people: the adults and the children. Our values set us apart:

elliott hudson college

Welcome to Elliott Hudson College. Our community is built upon clear beliefs and values and the fundamental belief that all students can achieve, providing that they are taught well and that they are supported in developing the skills and habits for life-long success. We know that if we focus on building a community in which students support, encourage, and believe in one another, we are all more likely to achieve beyond what we ever thought we could. The unpredictability of the past two years has taught me the importance of being embraced by a community where positivity, kindness and diversity are championed. Our experience tells us that a culture that celebrates individuals and embraces difference is one in which all can thrive.

A Warm Welcome to Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust (BDAT) Thank you for taking the time to find out about BDAT. We are a Bradford based Multi-Academy Trust, a charity and company limited by guarantee, set up in 2012 to support and sponsor primary and secondary schools across our city. BDAT is primarily a family of schools, working together to make sure every child within our care, gets the absolute best education we can deliver. We are also a Trust which works hard to be an employer of choice – we know we can’t have great schools without great staff and we work very hard to recruit, retain and develop our people to be the best they can be. In Autumn 2021 we launched our sister website BDAT People, setting out our CPD offer for all our existing staff and those who may wish to join us. Don’t forget to visit our vacancies page if you want to join our team.

Initially I read Social Psychology at Berlin University and then worked as a lecturer and researcher at the university. I subsequently trained as a Family Counseller and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I worked internationally as a therapist and trainer for over 25 years, specialising in complex trauma, child abuse and related mental/emotional issues. I have provided training and consultancy on these issues for many different organisations and professionals in Europe as well as in Asia and Africa. In parallel with my work as a trauma specialist, I functioned for 12 years as the SW course director and lecturer for an international training institute, which trained Hypnotherapists to MSc level in partnership with a London University, and I was a honorary fellow at the University of Exeter Medical School, a part-time post which I still hold.
