The Flying High Partnership, founded in Cotgrave in Nottinghamshire in 2012, has been recognised during a national awards ceremony for its service to education. The primary only multi-academy trust currently supports 34 schools across Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

Winning the ‘Transformation and Impact Award’, members of the Flying High Partnership attended the MAT Excellence Awards and gala dinner held in Solihull.

The MAT Excellence Awards celebrate excellence and impact in school trusts across the country, and The Flying High Partnership was shortlisted in two categories.

The Flying High Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Chris Wheatley OBE said, “We are absolutely delighted receive the award for ‘Transformation and Impact’ on behalf of everyone at Flying High.

“The award itself reflects the DNA of our trust, it’s what makes our work extra special. We aim to make every day count for every pupil that we come into contact with. We have never been timid about working in challenging areas, and we have the same high aspirations for all of our children.  We are delighted to accept the award on behalf everyone who works so hard at Flying High schools.”

The Flying High Partnership is a National Leader of Education, recognised for strong impact in school improvement and is ranked in the top five performing primary-only multi-academy trusts in the country for reading, maths and disadvantage (MATs of more than 10 schools).

A group of children and two teachers dressed in colorful costumes pose in front of a large screen showing a man speaking via video call. The children are dressed as various storybook characters, including the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, a witch, a police officer, Mary Poppins, and a character with green-painted skin. The teachers are also in costume, one dressed as Paddington Bear with a red hat and blue coat, and the other as the Cat in the Hat with a tall red-and-white striped hat and whiskers drawn on her face. The children smile and stand close together, holding small props related to their costumes. The man on the screen appears to be an author, sitting in front of bookshelves, wearing glasses and stroking his chin while speaking.
