NACE Member Spotlight

4.00 – 4.45pm, Tuesday 28th April 2026, online

Free event, exclusively for NACE members

Our half-termly member spotlights offer the opportunity to hear a leading member of the NACE community share a case study of effective practice for their more able learners. Each spotlight session focuses on a specific initiative, sharing why and how it was implemented, impact on learning, and tips for effective application or adaptation in other settings.

In this session, we’re shining the spotlight on Nettlesworth Primary School, County Durham, where “inclusion” and “high expectations for all” are at the heart of school life. Headteacher Donna Lee will share the school’s five-step plan to developing and delivering a curriculum which is both inclusive and challenging, with examples of what each step might look like in practice. There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end of the presentation.

Donna has been Headteacher at Nettlesworth Primary since 2018, and has led the school through Challenge Award accreditation and multiple re-accreditations – now as a NACE Ambassador School. She has been an Inclusion Coordinator for over 25 years.
