Extending a warm welcome, Chief Executive Gary Lewis, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Churchill Academy and Sixth Form to our Trust.  Churchill’s focus on quality of teaching and whole person education are priorities that we share.  We know that Churchill will make a big contribution and partnership with them has already energised the development work across our secondary schools.  We look forward to the journey of improvements and opportunities for the young people and staff at the academy.”
