We’re delighted that HFL Education has been selected as a supporting organisation for the Department for Education’s new RISE programme.
As an area-based partnership and proud member of the AEPA group, HFL Education is honoured to be part of this important work. We’re especially proud to be one of the few non-trust organisations selected, highlighting the value of diverse models of school improvement.
This selection reflects the strength of a collaborative education system—where multi-academy trusts, maintained school leaders, and area-based partnerships all play a vital role in raising standards and supporting schools.
Together, we’re committed to unlocking potential, sharing expertise, and driving sustainable improvement across the sector.
Penny Slater, Partnership Lead will be attending the forthcoming East of England RISE Attainment Conference - on 14th October and facilitating a session on transition, which will be led by the Headteachers of Robert Barclay and Sir John Lawes.
In addition, our colleagues Anne Peck, Director of Education Services (Primary and Early Years) and Liz Shapland Director of Education Services (Secondary, Special and AP) were invited to attend DfE RISE roundtables last week on Reception year quality and attainment respectively. There’s so much to celebrate and to explore. We are delighted to be playing our part in this important work.
