“These schools inspired my love of learning and gave me the confidence to try and make a difference.
Leanne, who studied at Sheffield Hallam University, undertook one of her first teaching placements at Ravenfield Primary Academy, based at Moor Lane North.
“I remember visiting the school when I applied for role of assistant principal and being totally blown away by the politeness of the children and the warmth of the staff.

David Sutton, chief executive of Maltby Learning Trust said: “Leanne's dedication and passion for teaching and education is outstanding and I’m sure that the staff and families of Ravenfield Primary Academy will join me in giving her a warm welcome as she steps up from assistant principal to principal.
“Leanne is a great example how we grow our own talent at MLT – even more so as she started life as a pupil in our schools.”
