In Education Leeds we have created a real centre of learning excellence where brilliant, taklented colleagues do amazing things. Simply look at some of the creative, innovative materials and ideas we have developed over the last few years; the Stephen Lawrence Education Standard, Bluewave Swift, the Leeds Inclusion Chartermark, Investors in Pupils and Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month. Simply look at the teams that have established themselves as best in class; the Parent Partnership Service, our Admissions Team, our Deaf and Hearing Impaired Team, our Visually Impaired Team, Our Families and Schools Together Team, our Finance Team, our HR Team, our Governor Support Service, our Healthy Schools Team, Leeds Mentoring and Education Leeds itself. We have won awards for everything from Building Schools for the Future to Customer Service Excellence, from Beacon Awards to Times 100 Best Places to Work in the Public Sector.
What makes Education Leeds such an amazing place?
I have reflected on this for a long time since the Council made it's decision to end the contract with Education Leeds. Especially as the review stated that the new arrangements should build on the achievements of the company. The answers are simple:
- Distributed intelligent leadership;
- An empowering, engaging and creative culture;
- Beautiful systems that reinforce and develop the culture; and
- A belief in people's extra-ordinary potential and talent.
Let me know what you think makes Education Leeds such a great place to work, to learn and to be part of?
