Kate Shorrock – Senior Operations Manager

With over 15 years in the education sector, I bring a wealth of experience across all areas of school administration. Throughout my career, I’ve consistently managed the Single Central Record, successfully navigating five Ofsted inspections. I also enjoy supporting schools within our Trust on HR matters, providing guidance and advice.

LET Education Trust is its own admission authority and I manage all in-year admissions for both our primary and secondary schools—a responsibility I particularly enjoy.

I genuinely love working for the Trust and collaborating with my colleagues to ensure the best possible outcomes for our children; they truly deserve nothing less.

I have experience of working in a number of educational institutions including primary, secondary and further education. As strategic lead I have led the development of our data centre and built the wider-area network (WAN) for the Trust.

Finn Vent – I.T. Technician

As an I.T. Technician, I am responsible for providing support to all the pupils and staff with anything involving I.T. to ensure their experience is as smooth as possible. I rely on my knowledge of I.T. and previous experience in busy environments to ensure any problems that occur are handled swiftly and effectively so that our pupils and staff can continue their teaching and learning without issue.

Paul O’Brien – I.T. Technician

Julie Clarke – Finance Officer

I have spent several years working in one of the secondary schools within the trust and I am dedicated in ensuring that I provides the best possible financial support to aid the smooth running of our academies.

David Slattery – Counsellor and Psychotherapist

I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a BaHons Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a PgDip in Clinical Supervision. I am what’s called an integrative therapist which means that I am trained in multiple different styles of therapy. I do not believe that therapy is a one shoe fits all type of support, so I am trained in a variety of ways so that I can use various techniques from over 14 different therapies.

I have worked in various secondary schools and universities across the Northwest including Edge Hill University. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked for many years in children’s homes looking after children in care before moving to work for the NHS in the mental health sector.

I have always had a real passion for helping and supporting people through their most difficult moments in life and it is an absolute pleasure to be able to offer this support as part of the LET Education Trust and be part of improving the outcomes for all of our pupils and families.

Aisha Siddiqa – Business Administrator Apprentice

As LET Education Trust’s business administrator apprentice I am responsible for providing general administrative support across all departments.

I am proud to be a part of a team that works hard to ensure every pupil has the tools needed to lead an independent and successful life.

I have obtained a Foundation Degree (FdSc) in Computing from Liverpool John Moores University in June 2024 and now decided to step into the Education sector with an apprenticeship to help me gain invaluable experience along with a qualification.

Having volunteered at Lancashire Women and witnessed the impact that childhood has later on in adult life made me passionate about safeguarding children and supporting them through their education.

I speak four languages: Urdu, Italian, Punjabi and English. Which I am sure will be useful for the families we work with.

Waqar Ahmed – Director of Extended Services

I have served as the Extended Services Co-ordinator at The Hollins for over 15 years, where I have developed and led pioneering, youth-led programmes that enrich arts, culture, and character education for young people. My work has always been driven by a belief in the power of young people to lead, inspire, and create meaningful change.

In 2009, I launched the Cohesion through Creativity initiative, bringing pupils together with artists and cultural organisations to produce powerful, collaborative work. This was followed in 2016 by the establishment of the ground-breaking Let’s Be Foundation – a pupil-led social action initiative that nurtures leadership skills and fosters stronger, more connected communities.

The work of Extended Services has received both regional and national recognition, winning a total of seven Educate Awards – widely regarded as the North West’s largest education awards – as well as the Northern Cultural Education Award in 2018 and 2024, and The Diana Award in 2017 and 2019. We were also awarded a Quality Mark in Extended Services by Canterbury University in recognition of our work.

I have also trained and served as both a Specialist Leader in Cultural Education (SLiCE) and a Specialist Practitioner in Education (SPE) for the East Lancashire Teaching School Alliance – roles which have allowed me to support the wider educational community in embedding creative and cultural learning into school life.

Now, as Director of Extended Services for the LET Education Trust, I am excited to unlock fresh opportunities and deliver an ambitious, trust-wide vision that further empowers young people and enhances educational outcomes across all our schools.

April Harulow – Finance Officer

For the past six years, I have worked within the social housing sector, my role allowed me to work closely with housing associations and gain a deep understanding of public sector operations and stakeholder engagement. Prior to this I spent 12 years in various business administration roles at a large secondary school, within these roles I gained extensive experience in financial processes, operational support, and school based business functions. I am excited to have returned to the education sector and I am certain my combined work experiences will allow me to be able to provide our academies with high-quality financial support.

I have recently completed a Level 5 ILM qualification, this has significantly enhanced my leadership, strategic thinking, and communication skills, all of which will ensure I make a positive impact in my role as Finance Officer.
