primary schools, school

improvement work and
themes such as Attendance,
EDI, SEND, transition,

recruitment and retention.
Support staff discussed core

values in relation to their
roles and how to work more

closely with colleagues in
similar roles at different

schools.

Thank you to the staff who

drove minibuses, the Heads who helped at drinks
stations, the theme leaders, the catering staff and
everyone who attended for their enthusiastic contributions. We are also

grateful to all the external colleagues who facilitated sessions.

After significant disruption over the last couple of years, it was great to
have everyone together in one place, especially because our colleagues

at SWR and Chipping Sodbury School have not been involved in the
previous Athelstan Trust days. Looking forward, we hope to grow our
family of schools to include primary settings so it was a great privilege to

have some primary colleagues in attendance and contributing to the
sessions.

We are already thinking about the Trust
Days for next year (Monday 7 November

2022 and Friday 30 June 2023). The
June date is additional to standard TD
days so although the school is closed to

students, this is a normal working day.
Please put these dates in your diary now

as we would love to see you there.

“The choice of CPD presentations
and workshops on offer

throughout the day was very
impressive.”
