Senior Leadership Networking Dinner at Villa Park

In February we had our Annual Senior Leadership Networking Dinner where we engaged in conversations around our development priorities over the next five years as a Foundation.

Our evening was a celebration of all that is good in collaboration, and this message was clearly echoed by our keynote speaker, Dr Joe Spence, CEO of the Schools Partnership Alliance, who delivered an inspirational speech. Thanks to our brilliant sponsors, Softcat, AIP and Baily Garner we were able to host more leaders and connect more people from across our region, all with the same focus, to make Birmingham the best place to be educated in the UK. It was a rare opportunity for senior leaders to network, catch up, share ideas and discuss our strategic objectives for 2026-2031.

For the event, we were joined by partners from:

  • Hillcrest School
  • The University of Birmingham
  • The Department for Education
  • Summit Learning Trust
  • Invictus Foundation Trust
  • Dudley Academies Trust
  • Aston University 6th Form and Engineering Academy
  • Hamstead Hall Academy Trust
  • St. Peters School, Solihull
  • Prince Albert Community Trust
  • Robin Hood Multi Academy Trust

A big thank you to all who attended the evening.
