Over the course of 2 financial years, EIS consulted Bradfields Academy on how they could make the most of their SIMS investment. With a focus on internal staff, training and workshops were delivered to ensure the development of skills for Bradfields Senior Leadership Team and Middle Leaders. This helped pave the way to the academys goal- and achievement, of an Outstanding Ofsted inspection result.
