I am very pleased to invite you to read this P6 STEM Activities first edition of a document which illustrates P8 Economic Footprint the range and depth of engagement that the Leicester Grammar School Trust has with P10 Charitable Projects the local and wider community. It also sets P12 Community Service out to provide a guide to the economic footprint of the Trust. It is not a definitive, P14 Shared Facilities and Sport comprehensive document and is inevitably P16 The Arts historic in terms of the quoted examples, albeit referencing the recent past. It is P18 Bursaries and Financial Support nonetheless a document with which we are P19 Looking to the Future all proud to be associated, as it supports the Trust’s philosophy of being outward looking, with the aim of engaging in an effective, on- going and productive way with the community, both near and far from our home base.

Educational PARTNERSHIPS

Since 2015 Leicester Grammar School has worked in partnership with two local maintained schools, and Manor High School. These informal partnerships have worked to the benefit of all concerned and continue to thrive; indeed, in 2018 they were recognised by the Times Educational Supplement when they formed part of LGS’ nomination for an ‘international independent schools award’ in the category of ‘Whole School Community Initiative of the Year’. The schools’ respective Deputy Heads (Academic) meet at least once a term to identify areas where the schools can operate in conjunction; these ideas are then cascaded down through the appropriate channels. Middle managers, such as the respective leaders of each schools’ teaching and learning bodies and their HoDs, have also linked up to good effect. Examples of the partnerships in action include:

• The joint staging of enrichment activities such as foreign language plays, subject-specific lectures and musical performances; • Mutual lesson observations to share best practice in teaching and Teachers who are learning; • LGS HoDs acting as points of contact and advisors to the other schools’ We have three members of subject leaders as they have prepared for the introduction of GCSEs; GOVERNORS IN OTHER SCHOOLS • Joint INSET and collaborative staff training projects, including events staff who are governors in staged at each of the three schools that have been attended by all other schools: three of the schools; “I am Vice-Chair of the Governing Board of High School Academy Trust, a state Caroline Rigby, Junior School • Senior Managers’ informal sharing of techniques and approaches for Headteacher: Kingsley Girls, funded 11-16 academy.

I particularly enjoy supporting the School in a range of more East Midlands Group informal ways, for example by attending school concerts and drama productions, the Leavers’ Prom and prize-giving Leicester Grammar School belongs to a cluster group of independent schools within its region known as the East Midlands Group. The group provides opportunities for the teachers of the schools in question to regularly ceremonies. I help the Science Department in any way meet and share best practice; to co-host joint events; and to work as one in a coordinated fashion on issues that I can, for example by providing GCSE revision sessions that are common to all. Each year one of the member schools acts as host for meetings for each of the aimed at challenging the most able students and by using schools’ subject leaders, beginning with the meeting for Deputy Heads Academic and concluding with a my contacts at LGS to provide up-to-date information e.g. gathering of the respective Heads.
