Academisation

Dear Stanton CP School Community,

We are excited to announce an important step forward in our journey towards enhancing the educational experience for our pupils: our move towards academisation and joining the Eastern Education Trust Group. This transition represents a significant opportunity for our school to grow, innovate, and continue to deliver the highest standards of education.

Joining the Eastern Education Trust Group will bring a multitude of benefits that align with our commitment to nurturing brave, respectful, and hardworking learners. Here are some of the key advantages we anticipate:

  1. Curriculum Freedom: As an academy, we will gain the flexibility to design and adapt our curriculum to better meet the specific needs and aspirations of our pupils. This autonomy will empower us to create a more tailored educational experience that reflects the diverse interests and talents within our school community.

  2. Enhanced Resources: Being part of a larger trust will provide us with greater purchasing power, allowing us to allocate resources more efficiently. This means we can continue to invest in improving teaching and learning, ensuring our pupils have access to the best tools and materials available.

  3. Staff Development: Our dedicated staff team will benefit from increased opportunities for professional development. They will have access to the latest teaching techniques and tools, as well as the chance to collaborate with a wider pool of educational professionals. This investment in our staff will directly enhance the quality of education we provide.

  4. Community Engagement: We are committed to working closely with parents and the local community. Our transition to an academy will not change this; in fact, it will strengthen our ties. We will ensure that our academy reflects the values and priorities of the families we serve, and we will continue to develop our school as a vibrant hub for our community.

  5. Educational Excellence: Above all, our primary focus remains on providing an outstanding, inclusive education with high expectations for all our pupils. Joining the Eastern Education Trust Group will support us in maintaining and enhancing our commitment to educational excellence, ensuring that every pupil achieves their full potential.

We are enthusiastic about this new chapter in our school's journey and look forward to sharing more details with you in the coming months. Together, we will create an even brighter future for our pupils and our community.

Warm regards,

Liz Bonnelykke
