In January 2020 Nicki Mattin, Headteacher at Spires Academy shared the journey of EKST from inception to fully formed programme of activity when she was a panellist alongside James Turner CEO of the Sutton Trust, Ed Dorrell deputy editor of the TES, Nick Hillman Head of the HE policy institute and former Tory advisor. The panel was chaired by Micheal Crick TV news journalist and author. Great to get our partnership and the power of collaboration out there for others to learn from.
