Dr Tim Leuing visits from Department of Education
We were privileged to host a morning visit with Dr Tim Leunig, Chief Analyst at the Department of Education, on Thursday 29th September.
Dr Leunig was invited by Executive Principal Helen Mackenzie OBE, who heard him give a talk about standards in education at an ‘Innovation in Education Think Tank,’ of which she is a member.
During his visit, Dr Leunig visited lessons, met staff and also enjoyed lunch with the Student Council, including Head Boy Jordan Walker and Head Girl Alethea Biesty.
Helen Mackenzie said:
“Students ask repeatedly to hear from different outside speakers and inspirational people. Inviting Tim was a fantastic opportunity to engage students, raise their aspirations and for them to hear about the world outside Salford City Academy. We are extremely grateful to Dr Tim Leuing for giving us his time.”
