On Thursday, 15th May 2025, SEEAT was delighted to welcome senior representatives from the Department for Education (DfE). Visitors included Jonathan Duff, Regional Director for the East of England, Ian Jacobs, Head of Delivery for Essex and Nicola Darling, Senior Delivery Officer. They toured Cornelius Vermuyden and The Deanes schools and spoke with senior leaders about the work SEEAT is doing to improve schools in South East Essex.

Andrew Cooper, CEO said:

'In both schools, our visitors observed calm, purposeful classrooms where students were engaged in their learning and proud to showcase their work. They also saw what makes SEEAT special - a culture of high expectations, strong relationships and a family of schools that puts collaboration at the heart of everything we do.'Left - Jonathan Duff visiting Cornelius Vermuyden
