Speaker Profile

Lucy Gowland

Lucy Gowland is a passionate advocate for inclusive education and a key leader of school improvement across The Legacy Learning Trust. She believes deeply that when inclusion sits at the heart of school culture, every young person benefits.

Before taking on her Trust‑wide role, Lucy played a pivotal part in leading successful school improvement at Acklam Grange, strengthening inclusive practice, raising outcomes for vulnerable learners, and embedding systems that ensured every student could thrive. This work now underpins her wider influence across the Trust.

Her expertise has recently been recognised nationally through her appointment as a DfE Regional Adviser for Attendance and Behaviour Hubs, where she supports schools across the region to develop evidence‑informed approaches that improve engagement, strengthen behaviour cultures, and remove barriers to regular attendance.
