Last night, Cambrian Learning Trust held its end of year presentations for the 2025-2026 cohort of Aspiring Leaders. This was a celebration of the work and commitment they have shown all year towards their continued professional learning and development. Our Cambrian leadership programme consists of termly face-to-face focussed training and development sessions, each led by leaders from within the Trust. There is also research-led reading and networking opportunities in-between these in-person events. During the presentations, each leader spoke for five minutes, showcasing the impact the programme has had on their subject/area of leadership within their schools. 'I have walked away from each of the sessions, inspired and excited about my self-development and supporting others in my team better. Thank you for this opportunity.' Marta Dyet, Reception Lead St Nicholas C E Primary 'The Aspiring Leaders programme is for everyone – you could be from any school, with any level of experience, working with pupils in any year group. It is good to acknowledge and celebrate that anyone, at any level, can be a leader.' Aspiring leader participant, 2026 'The course provided a great opportunity to learn, reflect, and develop new skills and it was inspiring to be part of such a supportive and motivated group.' Beth Nyland, Millbrook Primary School We look forward to welcoming the next cohort of Aspiring Leaders to the programme in September.
