Great to be there on behalf of Olive Academies and the APSEND CEO Network. I have a strong sense of optimism about the new gov’t’s desire to work with schools & specialist settings to help shape the lives of all pupils we work with so they can be successful in education & beyond.

Delighted to welcome HMCI Sir Martyn Oliver and Ofsted’s National Director Lee Owston to Olive AP Academy - Havering - a wonderful opportunity to share the positive impact our broad curriculum and personalised approach to learning has on pupils in our academies. Read more: bit.ly/4bQOQ8C
