Find out how The Key could support your trust

How do leaders like you use the Key?

I would advise every CEO to use The Key.

Paul Kennedy, CEO at The Good Shepherd Trust, tells us how The Key improves education in his trust, through both central team and school-level support.

Thanks to The Key, all staff knew what to do next.

After a pupil disclosure was made about inappropriate touching, staff at this school used The Key’s support to get to the facts of the incident, use the correct language to explain it to pupils and also communicate with the parents and carers involved.

I find it incredibly reassuring to know that I’ve got both the trust and The Key behind me.

Hasnain Panjwani, Chief Strategy Officer at Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust and Claire Keeler, Principal Designate of Wednesfield Technology Primary, explain how they have used The Key to set up a new school and support growth within their multi-academy trust.

The Key is the first thing I turn to.

School leaders from across the country share why The Key is a must-have in their school, providing reassurance and a first port of call for any challenge.
