We are delighted that Helen Bingham has been appointed an MBE for services to early years education in the 2025 New Year Honours list.

As EYFS & Sustainability Lead, Helen is relentless in her commitment to ensure that every one of our youngest pupils gets off to a flying start. With her team of nursery and EYFS practitioners, a strong and dynamic culture of child-centred practice, innovation, staff training and a commitment to excellence has been embedded in the Trust's 37 Reception classes and 22 nurseries.

Helen's boundless energy, enthusiasm and unwavering dedication to children's early learning journeys is inspirational, and indeed aspirational.

We are blessed and proud to call her our own. Congratulations, Helen!
