The Flying High Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Chris Wheatley OBE said, “We are absolutely delighted receive the award for ‘Transformation and Impact’ on behalf of everyone at Flying High.
“The award itself reflects the DNA of our trust, it’s what makes our work extra special. We aim to make every day count for every pupil that we come into contact with. We have never been timid about working in challenging areas, and we have the same high aspirations for all of our children. We are delighted to accept the award on behalf everyone who works so hard at Flying High schools.”
The Flying High Partnership is a National Leader of Education, recognised for strong impact in school improvement and is ranked in the top five performing primary-only multi-academy trusts in the country for reading, maths and disadvantage (MATs of more than 10 schools).
