🚧 Our Kirklees inspection result – Significant Strength in Leadership and Management is a milestone, not a destination.

At Pivot, we are always thinking about what is next. How can we reach more learners? How do we shape the future of SEND education? 

This recognition fuels our next chapter, one of growth, inclusion, and opportunity. 

Watch this space.

Congratulations to Marie who provided the closest guess as to how many jelly beans were in the tub during the Kirklees Live Event at the ACCU Stadium in Huddersfield last Thursday.  We had such a great day meeting lots of lovely people, chatting about our provisions and sharing best practices with other providers.  Our jelly bean competition had so many entries!  In the end Marie was 37 away from the 1263 total. Thanks to the bean counters 🙂... and well done for not eating any!

Our inspection result of Significant Strength in Leadership and Management confirms what many families already know.  Pivot is a place of safety, belonging and potential.  We are proud of the recognition, but even prouder of the journeys behind it.
