Leading headteacher awarded Fellowship in the Chartered College of Teaching


M&C Saatchi and University of Greenwich launch Carbon Academy


M&C Saatchi has collaborated with University of Greenwich to devise and launch a training scheme aimed at Year 12 females, and those identifying as female, from diverse backgrounds. Carbon Academy selected six young women who have been paired with


six female mentors at the agency, kicking off the training programme in January this year. The mentees then embarked on a 10-month scheme involving joint projects, networking, challenges and set tasks. The ambition of Carbon Academy is to get more young women, and from


diverse backgrounds, into the creative industries by raising awareness and offering opportunities that might not otherwise appear open to them. The concept was originally thought up by Justin Tindall, chief creative


officer at M&C Saatchi, back in 2016, who then approached Miriam Sorrentino, from the University of Greenwich, to help design the programme. Laima Petrauskaite, an intern in M&C Saatchi’s creative department, has


An executive headteacher has been awarded Fellowship in the Chartered College of Teaching (FCCT), in recognition of his achievements and commitment to the teaching profession. Daniel Copley, who is Executive Headteacher for two primary schools in


Yorkshire, was awarded the Fellowship in July. He was awarded Fellowship in light of his outstanding 17-year career in teaching, his leading work with the Catholic Schools Partnership, and his involvement with the Partnership Board for the Bradford Opportunity Area set up by the Department of Education. As a Fellow, the highest and most prestigious category of membership at


the Chartered College, Daniel will have a voice in cross-parliamentary debates on education. Speaking of the membership, he said: “The fellowship signifies a combination of work with a brilliant team in schools and brilliant people I get to work with in wider projects”. Since graduating from Leeds Trinity University in 2002, Daniel has worked


in education for two decades, following in the footsteps of his father and both grandfathers. He started his teaching career at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Bingley. He first became Headteacher at St Francis Catholic Primary school aged 29, which at the time made him one of the youngest headteachers in the country. Under Daniel’s leadership, the school transformed from one that was


categorised in special measures and failing to meet Ofsted requirements, to consistently scoring ‘Good’ from Ofsted and ‘Outstanding’ in the inspection for Faith Schools in the Diocese of Leeds. He was appointed as Executive Headteacher of St Francis and St Cuthbert & The First Martyrs’ in 2015, the latter of which was the primary school he attended as a child.

been project managing the pilot year of Carbon Academy, splitting her time 50% between the scheme and agency design work. A Greenwich graduate, Laima has seen the change in the students close up – with one of the young women deciding to switch paths completely, from midwifery to pursuing a creative role in advertising. Laima says: “It’s been really interesting to see the project grow over the


year. I've built good relationships with all the mentees. They've all really progressed in various ways and enjoyed working with all the mentors. So many people at the agency want to get involved in some way with Carbon, there’s real commitment from the business.” Carbon Academy is now open for its 2020 intake.
