Welcome to the KYRA Newsletter,
Last year we saw some significant milestones in the journey of the KYRA Alliance; celebrating ten years of partnership and community, being awarded a Silver Award for Impact Through Partnership from the Pearson Teaching Awards, and relaunching the peer review school improvement cycle through the Schools Partnership Program. The continued commitment to our DNA, demonstrating collective professionalism, expertise and moral purpose shines through across our KYRA community.
We as a community, collectively respond to our school needs as they arise and regularly new strands of activity emerge. These termly newsletters will be an opportunity to share and shine, a celebration of KYRA schools, peer review case studies, KYRA Kids work, practice spotlights and signposting expertise across the Alliance.
I know this year will require the strength of our leadership, and continued ambition for our pupils and the communities we serve and I look forward to working with you all ……..
