We did it! Despite the horrendous weather yesterday, the Yorkshire Three Peak team have made it back safely and in one piece 😅. This was an incredible challenge requiring determination, teamwork and plenty of resilience - and all for a fantastic cause 🥰.

We are proud to have been awarded re-accreditation for the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) in July 2026. The award celebrates the strong relationships we have with our families and our commitment to listening to and working alongside parents and carers. We would like to thank all those who shared their views and experiences during the assessment process.
Extra special thanks to Nicola Patterson, our Pupil and Family Support Manager, who led the accreditation process and plays such a critical role in our work with families.
