Having recently made a decision to share a CEO, Yare Education Trust and Boudica Schools Trust are consulting stakeholders on a proposal to formally join together to create a single new trust.
Linda Steynor, chair of the Board at Yare, said: “The case for creating a new trust is incredibly strong but to assist us in making a final decision, it’s crucial that we take on board the views of stakeholders and that is why we are consulting with them now.”
Her counterpart at Boudica, Neil Bloomfield, added: “Our focus will always be on delivering the best possible education offer we can for our pupils and that will be the key consideration throughout this process.”
The consultation runs until August 9. Details on how to contribute to the consultation are available via yareeducationtrust.org.uk and bschoolstrust.co.uk
