I moved on to another meeting of the Education Leeds Board...

It was a great meeting focusing on how we continue to deliver brilliant services to schools here in Leeds, to Children's Services and to the Council. Education Leeds has achieved great things here in Leeds over the last eight and a half years and the contribution that the Board has made to these outcomes is very obvious. The culture, leadership and focus on performance management and resource management has driven the company to constantly reflect on what it is achieving but also to constantly ask ourselves how we can do even better. Whatever the next year brings; the budget challenges we face in the public sector and the implications of 21st Century Schools, we need to continue to simply focus on delivering better outcomes for young people so that they are happy, healthy, safe and increasingly successful... whatever it takes!
