We have to say a sad farewell to our coordinator. After seven fantastic years of work, in which the difference she has made has grown year by year and almost exponentially, we are saying goodbye to our SSLP coordinator Katie Barretta.

We hope Katie will continue to take an interest in SSLP beyond her time with us. She knows she’ll be a welcome and special guest when we celebrate SSLP at 21, for she’s had a major part in making us a model for independent state school partnerships around the country.
