Orange Moon Training

After an incredibly long journey, our first day in Malaysia was all about settling in, recharging, and beginning to take in our new surroundings. Travelling such a long distance is an experience in itself, and the group took the opportunity to relax, adjust to the climate, and explore the local area at a gentle pace. ​

It’s been quite a start to the year for our CEO Yvette. Not only has she marked a ‘big’ birthday (we won’t say which one!) with an extended holiday in Brazil, she was also recently delighted to be told that she has been invited along with Kay, (our Head of Quality and Safeguarding) to attend the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace this summer.

The invitation followed a nomination from the Department for Education in recognition of her contribution to education. It’s a lovely acknowledgement of the work Yvette has put into shaping the sector over many years, and one that reflects the wider impact of the work across the organisation.

Well done Yvette and Kay!

Deadlines, information overload and assessments can seem a lot sometimes. But here's a reminder you might need today:

✅You don't have to learn everything at once
✅Taking breaks doesn't mean you're falling behind
✅Your mental health is more important than productivity

This Mental Health Awareness week, be kind to your mind.
