At TEAM Education Trust, we have the privilege of working with hundreds of young people every day, each with their own story, their own challenges, and their own potential. Children in Need 2025 is more than a date in the calendar for us. It’s a moment to come together as a community of pupils, staff, families, and partners to champion the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive.

In the days leading up to Children in Need 2025, our schools were filled with a genuine desire to make a difference. Across the trust, schools completed a wide range of activities, including:
🎨 Student-led creative projects
🏃 Sponsored challenges
💛 Non-uniform days and themed assemblies
📚 Curriculum activities

We are proud of the creativity and generosity shown in our schools.
To every pupil, parent, colleague, and partner who has contributed in any way, thank you. Your support enables Children in Need to fund organisations that offer safety, stability, and hope to vulnerable children across the UK.

On Monday 3rd November, staff from across our trust gathered at Goosedale in Nottingham for our Annual Conference. The day brought everyone together with a shared purpose: to refocus on what matters most – the children in our schools.

Throughout the day, we heard from three inspiring speakers, Anthony Benedict, Olly Dean, and Carrie Grant, who each brought thought-provoking insight and encouragement. Their sessions helped us to reflect on how we can continue to support our pupils with compassion, understanding, and a trauma-aware approach to behaviour.

The conference also gave us the chance to celebrate the incredible work happening in our schools as we announced this year’s award winners. It was wonderful to recognise and applaud the individuals and teams who go above and beyond to make a difference every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the day such a success. It was filled with learning, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to helping every child thrive.

Earlier this week, we had a fantastic Student Council meeting, generously hosted by Blue Box, and we’re excited to share some of the key moments.

During the meeting, students explored:

🔹 The vital role Blue Box plays in supporting TEAM

🔹 The different roles and career paths within Blue Box

🔹 Online safety and responsible tech use

🔹 Careers in IT – including job and apprenticeship opportunities

🔹 How technology is currently used in our schools – and what students would love to see in the future

A huge thank you to Blue Box not only for sharing their time and insights.

It was truly inspiring to see our students so engaged and passionate about the future of technology in education. 💻🌟

We're proud to share the latest edition of TEAMtalk.

Across our family of schools, there's always something to celebrate. This edition highlights the fantastic achievements and experiences taking place across the Trust, from immersive collaboration days and sporting achievements to exciting school trips.

We're always inspired by the passion and commitment of our staff, students, and wider community—and we're excited to showcase just a few of the many highlights from recent weeks.

Take a look and see the amazing things happening across the Trust!

From March 3rd to April 3rd, students within our trust had the chance to participate in the Spring into Nature event held in our Awe & Wonder room. By utilising a blend of cutting-edge technology—including a floor projector, iMacs, robots, iPads, and VR headsets—we crafted an immersive experience that brought the splendour of spring to life.

Students took part in interactive activities, ranging from exploring virtual landscapes and habitats to using digital art to recreate the sights of spring. The event ignited curiosity, creativity, and excitement, providing a distinctive way to merge technology with the natural world.
