This past October, the iExel Trust family came together for a grand celebration of student and staff achievements at the Life Centre in Bradford. The event was a resounding success, with over 400 attendees, including parents, Trustees, members, and governors from IQRA Primary, Feversham Girls', and Bronte Girls' Academies. It was a night filled with inspiring performances, insightful speeches, and a sense of community that showcased the true essence of iExel Trust.
The event kicked off with a diverse range of student performances, featuring choir recitals, acting showcases, and impressive public speaking. Guiding the audience through the evening's festivities was our adept master of ceremonies, Maria Mehrin, an IQRA teacher, who ensured that award winners and speakers received the recognition they deserved.

The highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by the esteemed Dr. Myriam François, a writer, broadcaster, film, and documentary maker. Her speech, titled 'Empowering and Discovering Your Superpower and Harnessing it for Good,' resonated deeply with the audience and garnered rapturous applause. Dr. François' inspirational words left a lasting impact on all those in attendance.
