Mr Wadge at the Schools and Academies Show, Birmingham NEC

Mr Wadge was proud to take part in the prestigious Schools and Academies Show at Birmingham’s NEC, one of the UK’s leading education events. Mr Wadge had the pleasure of joining an expert panel discussion on mergers and acquisitions in the education sector, alongside Hayley Robinson and Eddy Newton — two highly respected voices in the field.
The session was expertly chaired by Andrew Lewer, whose guidance ensured a thought-provoking and engaging conversation. It was a fantastic opportunity to share insights into the exciting partnership between Lochinver House School and Haberdashers' Elstree Schools, a collaboration that reflects the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of independent education.
The discussion explored how schools can work together to strengthen their futures, enhance opportunities for pupils, and maintain excellence in a changing landscape. The panel’s contributions were full of wisdom and practical advice, resonating strongly with all in attendance.
We are delighted to have showcased our forward-thinking approach and commitment to innovation in education. A huge thank you to the organisers and all the panel members for their insightful thoughts and inspiring dialogue.
