The new school year has officially begun, with staff across our academies joining us yesterday for this year's THAT Staff Conference. This year, our conference took place across two sites, and featured a number of fantastic talks from Diana Osagie, Dr Haili Hughes, Samantha Garner and Katie McLellan, who inspired, entertained and educated our staff. We also invited staff to visit our Wellbeing Hubs, stationed across the school sites, to learn about some of our employee benefits, including gym memberships and access to private healthcare. The event provided a brilliant opportunity for staff to network and connect ahead of the new school year, and early feedback has been very positive! Here's to another fantastic year at THAT!
