A NEW report has highlighted progress made at Ashlawn School, Henry Hinde School and Houlton School in Rugby.
The Transforming Lives Educational Trust (TLET), which runs the schools, has published its inaugural annual Impact Report.
The report emphasises Ofsted’s praise for Ashlawn School’s ‘decisive action’ and ‘clear and coherent vision’, and the more positive feedback in 2024’s parent, staff and student surveys compared to the previous year.
Across the wider Trust, there has been a 15 per cent increase in the number of people who would recommend TLET as a good place to work in the last 12 months.
The Trust also sits above the national average for key indicators about workload and support for mental and emotional wellbeing.
TLET’s CEO James Higham said: “As we hope this report shows, we have made significant progress in terms of achieving our ambitions for our children, our young people and our employees.
“Outcomes have strengthened at almost every level. Our regulators, like Ofsted, have praised our academies as being places of sanctuary and aspiration. Staff surveys show that there is a growing sense of a united purpose.
“We must also highlight that data, Ofsted feedback and graphs only show part of a story. At the heart of everything that we do are individuals and people. As a Trust, we are creating the structures and environments for individuals to thrive.
James Higham ended: “That said, we know there is more that we can, and could, be doing. This report is just the full stop on one year before we move to another paragraph of nurturing potential, inspiring community and delivering excellence.”
Guy French, TLET’s Chair of Trustees, added: “TLET’s Trustees and Leaders are accountable for ensuring that the Trust is delivering value for money, so we are keen to report to our communities on the progress made and the impact that TLET has – that is the reason why we are publishing this impact report.
“We are maturing as an organisation and the links that are forming and the ideas that are being sparked are driving forward our progress. That is why it is right that we take a moment to acknowledge all the individuals who are driving our collective achievements. Our staff, our trustees and governing bodies, our parents, and of course our wonderful pupils and students.”
