I feel very much part of a forward thinking trust, we do not stand still and continually strive to improve our provision.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at WISE for the understanding, support and, where relevant, challenge since Adderlane became a part of WISE academies.
It has been evident this year that the Trust has implemented measures to look after its staff. This has made me feel more valued.
Without the support from the Trust at all levels - other heads, the regional hub leads, HR, finance, estates (basically everyone) my job would be much more difficult.
