It takes time and great effort to create great schools, but we believe that with years of investment, improvement, strong leadership and great teaching, we can achieve excellence for our learners. Here is our story so far:
High Arcal Academy becomes Beacon Hill Academy, Holly Hall Academy is now Pegasus Academy, Hillcrest Academy changes to The Link Academy and Castle Academy is re-named St James Academy The names have been developed by students.
Work starts on £4.5 million worth of improvements to the fabric of the four academies.
Experienced professionals are recruited to lead on data management, estates, finance, HR, IT, marketing and leadership development.
Andy moves over from the SLT at Hillcrest.
The Trust explains what it is going to achieve over the next three years and how it will achieve its ambitious targets.
Following a student leadership day, learners come up with the Trust values.
Jo Higgins joins from Penistone Grammar School with the aim of transforming the performance and estates of the four schools.
Working together we will develop inspirational schools which instil ambition and desire in young learners, open their minds, widen their horizons and equip them to succeed in a challenging world.
