SUMMARY:Leading with purpose & joy - don't be a boiling frog
DESCRIPTION:We want to support school leaders in rediscovering the joy in their vocation and flourish in their roles. Working in schools in the current climate is challenging\, leading others in this context even more so. Within these days we will provide you with a supportive\, safe\, environment; space and time for school leaders to share and learn from one another. We will also be inviting expert or experienced practitioners from a range of backgrounds to speak into this space. Ultimately\, we want to resource you\, so you might resource others across your own teams. This event is specifically for head teachers/executive heads/heads of school. These days are for both those who joined us in 2025/26 and for those who didn’t – we are preparing some fresh content and ideas for the 2026/27 academic year. Sign up for one or both of the free events. Confirmation will be sent out within 7 working days of booking. \n\n\n\nWhy join us?\nHere’s what one head teacher said last year: \n“Whatever stage you’re at in your headship journey\, there is a great deal to gain from this programme. Whether you’re in your first term as a headteacher or your sixth term in your fifth headship\, every school\, community and leadership role brings different challenges and opportunities.\nAs leaders\, we also change over time. Different stages of life bring different pressures\, priorities and responsibilities. This programme provides valuable time to pause\, reflect and step back from the day-to-day demands of school life. It gives you the opportunity to consider what you’re trying to achieve\, what is working well and where you could improve\, while leaving with practical strategies to support your leadership. By investing some time in yourself\, you’ll become a stronger leader. I cannot recommend this training highly enough.” \n\n\n\nLocation\nFlourish House\, Wells \n\n\n\nCost\nFree \n\n\n\nRegistration\nBooking available here \n\n\n\nContact\nFor further information please contact  felicitycobley@bathwells.anglican.org

SUMMARY:Trustees in person Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our in person trustee’s  Forum  at Flourish House\, Wells. An opportunity to meet with Trustees from MATs across Bath and Wells and network over tea and cake and discuss key issues. \n\n\n\nAn opportunity Foundation Trustees to meet with Education Department colleagues to discuss their role\, share best practise and hear any Diocesan or national updates pertaining to their role. In the past we have drawn up a Foundation Trustee Role Descriptor\, shared how Foundation Trustees might prepare for SIAMS\, considered how to ensure the whole board is signed up to being part of a mixed Trust and shared how we recruit new Foundation Trustees. This is an interactive forum that we hope each Trust will be represented at to ensure consistency of knowledge and best practise across our Trusts. We always welcome suggestions for topics for discussion or people you would like to speak to this audience. Please liaise with your fellow Foundation Trustees to ensure your Trust is always represented at this forum. \n\n\n\nLocation\nFlourish House\, Wells \n\n\n\n\n\n \nCost\nFree \n\n\n\n\n \nContact\nFor further information please contact Josie Halla\, email: josie.halla@bathwells.anglican.org \nRegistration\n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
