If ever there was a moment that encapsulated the culture, ethos and collective ambition of Team Healing, it was the one we shared this past weekend. On Friday evening, members of our team sat in London at the prestigious Tes magazine Schools Awards.. We were incredibly proud simply to be shortlisted alongside some of the finest schools in the United Kingdom. It is with absolute delight, pride and humility that I write to share the news that Healing Academy has officially been named the national Tes Inclusive School of the Year 2026! This is the ultimate national validation of our core mission. Being named the most inclusive school in the country validates our daily commitment to success and happiness for ALL. An award of this magnitude does not happen in isolation. It is the result of the dedication of our exceptional staff and our brilliant pupils. This achievement is a direct reflection of our DANCE values in action: Delight & Joy: Celebrating the unique milestones, happiness and achievements of everyone in our community  Ambition: Championing high aspirations for every member of our staff and students, regardless of their starting point, by refusing to put limits on what anyone can achieve Nurture: Creating an environment where pupils are known, cared for and supported through life’s transitions. Community: Recognising our strength in serving our community. This award is a testament to the connection between our school, our families, and our wider partners, proving that when we stand together as one community, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Empower: Empowering all of our community including staff, students, and families I would also like to thank our CEO Richard Briggs and Harbour Learning Trust colleagues, Local Academy Council Chair Paul Fieldgate and Chair of Trustees Chris Cherry for their leadership support, as well as our community, sixth form colleges, apprenticeship providers as well as local, regional and national organisations who work with us. Thank you to everyone who has also taken the time to message me. I still can't quite believe it. I know we still have work to do, but we also need to acknowledge the journey we have been on. This award belongs to ALL of us. Mr Logan Principal #TeamHealing #TesAwards
