Partner Spotlight: L.E.A.D IT Services

At Value for Schools, we value partnerships that are built on community, collaboration and creating meaningful opportunities for young people. Our partnership with LEAD IT Services reflects all of those values.

As sponsors of the Let’s Thrive programme, LEAD IT have played an important role in helping Baasit Siddiqui expand the reach and impact of the initiative. Their support has helped provide free resources, apps, videos and support materials that enable children and young people to develop confidence, character and essential human-centred skills.

Through this support, Let’s Thrive has continued to work with learners from a wide range of backgrounds, including young people from underserved communities, helping ensure more children have access to opportunities that inspire growth, self-belief and future readiness.

Alongside their sponsorship, Baasit has also worked closely with LEAD IT through their MEET Conference. The conference has become a fantastic space for educators to connect, share ideas and explore digital and teaching initiatives that can positively impact children and schools. It reflects LEAD IT’s commitment to innovation, collaboration and supporting education in practical and meaningful ways.

What makes this partnership especially meaningful is the shared connection to Derby. LEAD IT are based in the heart of Baasit’s home city and continue to do incredible work supporting schools, educators and the wider local community. Their values around trust, relationships, innovation and making a difference strongly align with the ethos behind Value for Schools and Let’s Thrive.

Together, this partnership is helping schools embrace technology, strengthen learning experiences and support young people in developing the skills they need to thrive in the future.
