Thank you 👏for working with us today Frank Norris and sharing your lessons learnt over the last 40 years. Your messages really resonated with us and the letter you sent to us after the event was a lovely touch😍. p.s You were wrong 😉… It wasn’t the Vicar #whodunnit


Thank you Confederation of School Trusts Steve Rollett Leora Cruddas CBE for inviting us to talk about our shared commitment to collective school improvement. It begins with #mission #vision #values #culture #moralpurpose As Michael Schumacher said, ‘Once something is a passion,the motivation is there.’



A really positive day networking with other Trusts around current sector wide priorities. Thank you to Forum Strategy and Frank Norris for facilitating such a valuable session.





It makes perfect sense for Birstall Primary Academy to have a Nursery. It’s what parents want and need.

Would you like to be the HEADTEACHER Lyndhurst Primary - a great school and part of a great Trust Focus Trust. Please let me know if you would like any further information or to view the school. Lyndhurst has just been graded as ‘Good’ in all areas. Exciting times ahead!


What a pleasure it’s been to welcome Forum Strategy Frank Norris & CEO colleagues for a day of mutual learning. It’s been uplifting to see the shared commitment we have in education to making a positive difference for our children, colleagues & communities.
